Essentials to SurviveWe need bread and water to survive Without both, we eventually will die God formed our bodies to be that way When He created man on the sixth day Yet so many starve from malnutrition Some find help through an institution Shelters for the homeless lend a hand But more are needed across our land Others face hunger of a spiritual kind Searching endlessly for peace of mind Often not knowing which way to turn They stray down the path of no return Jesus offers living water and bread Through the Spirit we become fed Spiritual needs of hunger and thirst Are met by placing faith in Him first This important stage of our life journey Leads us to the final place of eternity Which choice we freely decide to make Determines the course our life will take John 6:35 (NIV) Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.” © Carol Salter on 4/19/08 Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
