What is Life
By Faith E. Brown 6/11/06
Life: What is life but waiting for death, waiting for heaven,
And to be in the light of the Lord?
Life: What is life – sadness, crying, fear, frustration, darkness,
Fighting, pain, deceit, day after day.
Life: what is life? Yes, there are times of happiness,
Singing, friends, family, times of fellowship, sharing, dancing, laughing.
But what is life, really?
Life: what is life? Is it not God’s will for us to glorify Him alone?
For us to know that He is in control and we must trust in Him,
for He will take care of us.
Life: what is life?
Death, What is death? Fear, does not all fear come from fear of death?
But is death not leaving this world of evil to be with God?
And is that not a joyous thing?
I fear not, for I can’t wait for death. It’s not that I don’t want to live,
But that I want to be with God.
I wait, not in fear, but in delight, knowing some day I will be with the Lord.
I hope you are encouraged....i hope you understand this does not mean i want to die it just means i cant wait till i am with God!
