For the Sake of the Gospel

Mark 10:29-31

No man has left it all for Christ's sake,
They would rather both have and eat cake;
But will receive much more after the strife,
For in a world to come having eternal life;
As many that now be first will then be last,
While whoever is last be first unsurpassed.
Everyone has a very comfortable lifestyle,
I will admit as same for me in being liable;
For we all have sinned to have fallen short,
The glory of God unworthy of His support;
Even though I have devoted a life to Him,
My earthly treasure are filled to the brim;
Then again if I gave up even the computer,
I could not be as good of a poetic tutor;
For God has seen my talent and expertise,
To profess my faith against the iniquities;
I realize more than ever that God expects,
Preach to the world what my soul reflects;
God uses us in ways that would astound,
Bringing others closer to be Heaven bound.
