"Whosoever liveth and believeth
in me shall never die"
John points out Jesus said.
The Master said it, not I;
Jesus' words, not mine.
And how they do put
us in touch--here and now--
with things divine.
And that word "liveth"
to me shows us how.
To not only accept
what Jesus says as true,
but to actually live His
teachings in daily life,
what purpose this
gives me, gives you.
It takes out of life
the gloom and sigh,
and brings instead
such incentive and joy;
makes our spirits soar,
and spreads before us
an adventure in living
that only gets better,
one that will go on --
just think about this
dear readers everywhere --
FOREVERMORE.
An almost staggering concept,
but since Jesus said it,
without a question true.
