When The Time Comes + PRAYER: Not I, But Christ!

The World Is Behind Me!
The Cross Of Christ Before Me
Is
The Thing Most Precious That My Heart Sees
And
With The Spirit Of The Living God
Guiding Chiding
Leading Me Onward
And
Ever Always To Truth
I Know That At The End Of Life's Day
I Will Participate In The Heavenly Jubilee
And 

Live Forever
In The Everlasting Day!

That Will Be Glorious Indeed!

Can You Wrap Your Mind Around
The Idea Of A Day With No End!?!

No, I Can't
Because There Have Been Many Days In My Life
That I Couldn't Wait For Them To End!

I Know What You Mean
But
Thank God
Almighty God's Everlasting Day
Is
A Day Without Sin
Sickness Sadness
Sorrow Separation

Or Strife!

That Day Is Sacred

And
Decidedly Special
For It Is A Satisfying Day
A Forever-Day Spent With The Savior!

AMEN!!!
