THE DYIN’ AIN’T SO HARD…

The dyin’ ain’t so hard, but the livin’ is pretty rough.  Contrary to
the popular song, living is tough whatever season we are in.

There should be some sort of reward for any person who ever lived and
died well. They deserve a parade.

Many people live long years in quiet desperation and will depart this
planet without so much as a wink and a nod.

Well, some of us will be appreciated at the end of the road.

Matt. 25:21 – “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful
servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in
charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ “

Matthew 25:34 – “Then the King will say to those at His right hand,
Come, you blessed of My Father [you favored of God and appointed to eternal salvation], inherit (receive as your own) the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.”

It’s the great reward. It’s what we who have attached ourselves to the
Vine have looked forward to our entire life with Jesus.

Living is easier when you know what awaits in the next transition.

Hope beyond the grave. Acknowledgement of a life lived.

The ability to see the groveling after superficial and short lasting
accolades as futile and folly in light of the eternal reward that even
the great Hollywood cinematographers could not come close to.

I am sad for anyone who doesn’t know Jesus. They have built their own
little “bio dome” of self security. Job, family, Rotary Club, Little
League…

What’s left when the job says buh-bye? Or the spouse passes on? Or the
children leave the nest?

Who will tell you the much needed “I love you”? Or, “Great job”!

For some…no one sadly.

For others? Jesus.

He’s always there. He always has been there. He always will be there.

He’s the lover of your soul.

Remember. Jesus has never rejected a single person who came to Him. It
was Jesus who was rejected by many.

Jesus never fails!
