The Tests of the Time
Today, in any conversation it never matters what one says,
Only what the other person hears, sees, and feels.
The written word can be reviewed over and over forever
And the meanings will always change to fit the times.
But God's words written or spoken,
Never change, they always withstand the Tests of the Ages.
We all walk a thin line,
Between right and wrong,
At various times during our lives.
But one’s integrity,
Which is formed and controlled
From deep down within our human fiber,
Gives us the will to stay and stand with the right.
It never matters how one starts the race of life,
It only matters how and with whom one makes it to the finish line,
For everyone writes their own life story - no one else can.
On that day we stand before our Creator,
He will review with each one of us,
Our written story of only our race of life.
May we all stand with heads held high and not low in shame.
Remember, that mark or space,
Between the Birth Date and Death Date on ones gravestone,
Is the mark of life.
The beginning and ending dates are always in God's Hands.
God has placed the mark of life under our control.
I pray that we all complete that mark
With and under God's guidance and will,
And that we make His integrity our integrity.
Lord, keep us near the Cross,
