Dear friends - have you 
Ever wondered - how everything  
Will end - or - what may lie ahead for us 
Around each twist and bend - will the road get 
Wider - with each step along our way -
Or - will the path be narrow - as
We face each coming day ?


There are many voices 
Calling us - to go along the easy 
Way - where the lights are shining brightly
That deceive us -  and draw our hearts astray 
Where the razzle and the dazzle - can
Lead  us  from  the  safest track -
Where - if we are careless - 
We may stumble - and
Lose the safe way
Back.


We are told - that life may
Not be easy - but - we are not to
Fear - for our God has gone before us 
And - He has promised to be near - and He 
Tells us to rejoice at all times - and to lift
Our voice and sing  -  for the Grave 
Has been defeated - and death 
Has lost its dreaded sting.


So - let us run the race 
With courage - as we face each
Brand new day - with confidence - that 
God is for us -  as the Truth - the Life - the Way 
And - however deep the valleys  - or how 
Steep the mountains may be found
Remember -  at the Cross of
Jesus -  there is always 
Level  ground .


And - on that level ground
My friends - we can lay our burdens
Down - and receive the gift of mercy - and
Redemption's Glorious crown - for our God has 
Overcome the devil - and He has paid the
The price  - for all our sin  - and then
Opened up the gates of Heaven
For us - to enter in .


And - on thay day - how
Wonderful it will be - when the
Face of Jesus - is the face -
That we will see. 
Amen ..

What a wonderful truth it is to know
that we do not have to be afraid
of death .. It really has lost its
dreaded sting .. because of
the price JESUS paid for
us at Calvary..

If you are afraid .. then may I suggest
you ask Jesus into your heart .. and
ask Him to forgive you of all your
sins .. and then you will enter
into God's wonderful
Kingdom of  love
and peace .. for
all Eternity .

God bless you all
