Gold and Silver I may not have, but I am lead by my Christ’s staff, <br />Friend, what I need, I shall have, for Jesus directs my every path. <br />Gold has very little value to me, when I truly focus upon Eternity. <br />For the very streets we are told, up in Heaven are paved with gold. <br /> <br />What I possess is Eternal Life, and this friend is in Jesus Christ. <br />What I have will forever endure, for all my riches are in The Lord. <br />Earthly riches are uncertain friend, but a life in Christ has no end. <br />The more I give to God you see, the more I shall have in Eternity. <br /> <br />Have your silver and your gold, for in Christ there’s wealth untold. <br />In Christ is wealth you can’t see, stored away for you in Eternity. <br />Earthly wealth indeed has an end, that’s not so in Eternity friend. <br />Riches in Christ you can be sure shall be enjoyed forevermore. <br /> <br />Riches can lead into temptation, leading to trials and tribulation. <br />Man’s riches have an evil allure, causing you to always want more. <br />In Christ is contentment in Him, it guards you from covetous sin. <br />In Jesus you can settle for less, knowing you’ll always be blessed. <br /> <br />What on earth then can you afford, if your riches are in The Lord? <br />Christ brings an ongoing peace, when earthly riches finally cease. <br />In Christ you get a peace of mind that gold and silver will not find. <br />And Hope and Joy in Jesus Christ, knowing you have Eternal Life. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©12/2004)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gold-and-silver/
