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.
