How can you my friend not afford, to spend your time for The Lord? <br />He carves a niche for you and me, a niche secure through eternity. <br />You may have a niche on this earth, but does it have eternal worth? <br />Will all of your labor be in vain, when you reach that eternal plane? <br /> <br />When you help your fellow man, are you building on rock or sand? <br />The Rock you know is Jesus Christ, the sure foundation of New Life. <br />As the sands shift and change, only life in Christ remains the same. <br />As you live you can understand, life on earth is much like the sand. <br /> <br />What’s here today is gone tomorrow, causing many pain and sorrow. <br />Earthly endeavors are fleeting friend, as earthly ways come to an end. <br />Fix your eyes upon Christ my friend, and your time you’ll wisely spend. <br />By God time for all has been cast, only what’s done for Christ will last. <br /> <br />Together labor for Christ our Lord, and you will see an eternal reward. <br />As this earth is purged with fire, your reward is preserved much higher. <br />Build your future upon The Rock, and you shall receive eternal stock. <br />Stock with an eternal dividend, which found in Christ, shall never end. <br /> <br />You can help God sow some seed, just simply follow The Spirit’s lead. <br />Until all the seed planted is grown, water the seeds others have sown. <br />Serve The Lord bearing His Name, in the end you won’t be ashamed. <br />But, well done you will hear Him say, as you’re rewarded on that day. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©05/2005)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/labor-for-eternity/
