Where will you end up?

Where will you end up?

Robert Louis Stevenson wrote,

Requiem

“Under the wide and starry sky

Dig the grave and let me lie.

Glad did I live and gladly die,

And I laid me down with a will.

This be the verse you grave for me:

Here he lies were he longed to be;

Home is the sailor, home from the sea,

And the hunter home from the hill.”

                                                                            By Robert Louis Stevenson
It’s a fact the day you’re born is the day you start dying. We will not get out of this life alive. The question is where will you spend eternity?
I have said many times I cannot believe that this life is all there is. That the spark that is you, your soul, has to live on forever. If it’s not so, then why live? There has to be more than this life.
The poet wrote,

Where are the people?

Where?

Are they but shadows in the mall?

Are they?

Are they shadows in time,

Shadows wandering looking for the latest trinkets, bobbles or beads.

What is life?

What?

Is life but a wisp of smoke carried in the air?

A wisp in the eternal aether 

Are people wisps of smoke?

What of man’s, or woman’s! accomplishments?

What of them?

Is the sum total of all ones life simply a pile of shinny tin, brass, and wood?

Is that life?

Is life simply a cacophony of sounds travelling through endless time?

Is it?

Or 

Is life.

Yours and mine, more?

Is it a divine opera?

An opera played out on a high mesa 

On a stage suspended between heaven and hell.

Are we as Shakespear said “simply actors”?

Actors who write our own script?

I think,

No,... I truly believe!

Life is an opera played out before God.

On a high mesa between heaven and hell.

We are actors in a play?

Actors who write our own script awaiting the final curtain call?

Are you ready for the final curtain call?

Are you?

What is the sum total of your life?

What?

What will “they” say about you as you pass on?

What will God say?

I firmly believe it is here and now that we determine where we will spend eternity. Jesus said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son”. 
                                                                                                             John 3:16-18.
The choice is yours to make. If I am wrong you have nothing to fear if I am right you have a lot to fear and a serious choice to make.
Please think carefully about it.
