May our hearts and minds continue to birl away from self and move through the currents of this world, carried by His Word, to the eternal embrace of our Saviour, Christ Jesus.

A Day’s Journey to Eternity

Ran across this today and thought I'd share...
I wrote this poem in 2004, which seems a lifetime ago, 
but His promises always hold true!
🌻Blessings...

 

Eternity lies in the journey ~

  Laying one day, one joy on another.

  Living in the expectation of forever.

  Everyday building up to an explosion of glory.

  God has read the last page of the Book ~

  He wrote it, now we are living it.

Today is not something to hurry through ~

  take it in, soak it up.  Look for every

  nuance of God in everything.

  The careful sculpting of each iris petal,

  the fine trim of the kiskadee, the painting

  and shadows of the sky.

He is in today to be praised, just as in the halls of heaven.

  This journey is God’s, the one He planned to take His

  children home.  Not to leave us in bitter sweet yesterdays,

  but to bring us to His courts of compassion.

  Each day has a reminder of our destination,

  if we but look at Him. 

There is no fulfillment in man’s definition of life ~

  just empty promises and broken dreams.

  But our Father is the Maker of Dreams, He will keep

  His promises along the Way.

Look for Him today.

Thank you for stepping in to birl with me!
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow
with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
