A Fruitful Life
To be a shepherd on a hill somewhere
and have a sign appear to you there.
To follow that sign to the source of its’ light
and witness the coming of a glorious sight.
To be called from many to walk at his side
and witness miracles like walking the tide.
To be buried as dead then called to arise
and to know the truth of His word while looking into His eyes.
To stand at the foot of the cross while He is crucified
and to hear other call His death justified.
To see His body buried away
and to hear He has risen on the third day.
To walk with Paul, Barnabas, Mary, Moses and others
and know the Red Sea was parted for your brothers.
To be with Jonah swimming away
And having the faith to kneel and pray.
To stand with Daniel in the lions den
And proclaim your Saviors’ power over the fears of men.
To have His word to share with your brother
and know this life leads to another.
To see a lost soul drawn to His side
and hear His name praised and glorified.
To struggle to walk according to Gods plan
and not be tempted by the sins of man.
To stand at the thrown on Judgement Day
and glorify God in song and praise.
To understand that the greatest of these is to overcome strife
and to live in Gods’ will and have a fruitful life.
