Death

Is there anything in life,

 More feared than death!

Even the forgotten and cast down,

Still draw breath!

 Do we fear death?

For the sake of the unknown!

Or is it simply the idea,

That all leave alone!

The Bible says, fear and punishment

Go hand and hand!

For all who reject, Christ,

 The Son of Man!

But for the Christian,

Deaths legs are now lame!

For as the Apostle Paul told Christians,

“To die is gain!”

Yes all our lives

 Will cease one day!

It seems so inconceivable to man,

By their earthly ways!

Many act as if,

Death will never come!

But let me assure you,
 death visits all,

Not just some!

Most fear death,

 Because they know not what awaits!

Will it be hell?

Or the pearly gates!

Christians know!

When their life ends!

The time they have longed for,

Finally begins!

So grieve not for Christians,

Who draw their last breath!

For though death may have come!
 With Jesus... they left!

The Test

Sometimes our test,

seems to be too long,

But to quit before completion

would just be wrong.

Oh, there has been times,

 we've given it thought.

 In valleys so deep,

 waist high in distraught.

At those moments our enemy whispers,

"Why go on"?

"Give up fool,

you're all alone"!

"There is no one coming,

to help you through"?

"Just give up,

and go back to what you used to do"!

It's at those moments,

when we want to regress.

Just remember one scripture,

that still says it best.

"I am with you always,

to the very end of the age".

That's not just the spiritual moments,

but all of our days.

We haven't been forgotten,

Nor left by the road.

Sometimes a test is heavier,

than a regular load.

You've walked through test,

In days gone by. 

Overcoming the enemy, 

Though he did try.

 But be not deceived into thinking,

that it was you who carried it all.

Yes, the test was heavy!

So...
 why didn’t you fall?
