When Life Is Over

When Life is over - what is left?
When life is over - what did we gain?
These are questions, that we might ask.

We might say - I gain riches, or I acquried
fame. but actually,  at the end - what did
we gain?

A place in heaven is all I want, not a place
where the souls of darkness go. Just give 
me a space where I can praise JESUS and
glorify His name.

When life is over - that's all I want to gain...

Bl Devnath February 5, 2013 at 10:47 AM Excellently done. You are perhaps quite right that we the human beings always try to gain wealth, name and fame in general. No one brings anything at birth and takes away at the time of leaving this world. You are a true devotee as you want to praise JESUS and glorify His name. Thanks all the ways. Loved always, bl Lucilla Carrillo February 5, 2013 at 1:08 PM Thank you. I believe that God gives us more than what we deserve. Mabny blessings.

Elizabeth Wesley January 28, 2013 at 8:45 PM Riches are fleeting and we take nothing with us so I think your focus is what it's all about. Beautiful dear Lucy! Lov, Elizabeth

Robert Pettit January 24, 2013 at 4:21 PM We can't take it with us when we leave this world. Nice way to describe it all.

Richard Lamoureux January 23, 2013 at 7:47 PM That may be all you want but he has prepared a mansion for you. Not only does he love us, he is also extremely generous.
