I Heard Him Say

I have known him for only 3 years and 5 months From his gospel lips I have heard some wisdom, The kind of wisdom born out of many experiences. Please allow me to speak of just a little of that wisdom. I heard him say again and again, "Don't fool yourself". In a troubled world of believers being decieved by Unbelievers as well as other 'so-caled' believers', There is no space or time to be fooled by onesself. I heard him say on many occasions, "We're leaving here". Whereas everyone realizes that none of us gets out of This world alive or remain here forever, being reminded Of such generates as energy that encourages being Ready to meet God at the time of our demise. I heard him say, "God has blessed me". The emphasis Was always on the word 'Me'. Wornout shoes no longer Adorn his feet, and over used clothing has no fitting On his body. Poverty no longer knocks on his door. Pride and selfishness are not friends of his because He knows where he came from and who brought him To where he now so gratefully reside.
