Wednesday Writing...9/12/18.."What Will Last?".

Good Morning,

The theme you will be considering is what will last. It says what the most important thing you do that will last is what you do for Christ. Cathy wrote, "I happened to peek out the living room window one day at about 5:00 P.M. What I saw in the sky drew me out into the front yard. A magnificent sunset displayed itself in the firmament above me."

What gifts Christ gives us (such as beautiful displays of nature) and what gifts we do for Christ are the things that last. Let's do "something good" for God today that will last.

"What Will Last?" 

Written by

"ONLY WHAT'S DONE FOR CHRIST WILL LAST"

/12/

I happened to peek out the living room window one day at about 5:00 P.M. What I saw in the sky drew me out into the front yard. A magnificent sunset displayed itself in the firmament above me. Layers and layers of thick clouds stretched out in long rows. They were lit up in a golden pink hue which seemed to grow more brilliant as I gazed upon this wonder. The sky provided a crisp blue backdrop and peered through the rows of clouds.

As I stood in awe of God's magnificent handiwork, scriptures welled up from within my soul.

"For the Lord Himself

 will come down from heaven 

with a commanding shout, 

with the call of the archangel, 

and with the trumpet call of God."

 1 Thessalonians 4:16 (NLT) 

"Look! He comes with the clouds of heaven. 

And everyone will see Him - 

even those who pierced Him." 

Revelation 1:7 (NLT)

"Yes, dear friends, we are already God's children, \

and we can't even imagine what we will be like

 when Christ returns. But we do know 

that when he comes we will be like Him,

for we will see Him as He really is. 

And all who believe this will keep themselves

 pure, just as Christ is pure."

 1 John 3:2-3 (NLT)

Let me heed the admonition of the UNKNOWN AUTHOR who wrote:

"Two little lines I heard one day,

Traveling along life's busy way;

Bringing conviction to my heart,

And from my mind would not depart;

Only one life, 'twill soon be past,

Only what's done for Christ will last."
