Leaving a Legacy

Hebrews 6:9-12

We are certain that there is good within,
I am speaking of it going with salvation;
Other than commitment to so much sin,
That could be causing your abomination.

God is true to His Word and not forget,
All your deeds and devotion to His name;
And especially of each and every debt,
As you come for your treasure to claim.

He will see in a book the help you gave,
And are still giving to all of His saints;
Of which being recorded up to the grave,
As well as your gripes and complaints.

It is with a desire you keep a diligence,
With a certain hope up until the end;
Just beware that it be on your conscience,
And the direction that you will transcend.

Please take it to heart for as an example,
What you will be leaving as your legacy;
How you followed Christ and His Gospel,
Or might be better to say as your lunacy.
