Читать книгу Before We Say Goodbye: Preparing for a Good Death - Ray Simpson - Страница 10

You may think you can get away with anything, that nothing can touch you, not even death. This ability to get away with things may seem to be your pride and glory.

The truth is, you will have to submit to death as surely as seed, once it is fully grown as wheat, is cut down and ground into flour. ECHOING ISAIAH 28

The prophet Isaiah believed God was speaking along these lines to ‘successful’ people who never gave a thought to anything or anyone else.

It is better to sow seeds of wheat rather than wild oats now, so that these will bring a good harvest in the future. Only so will the harvest of our lives be a good experience.

What you sow, you reap. What you give out, you receive back.

Living our life in the light of eternity gives us perspective. It sorts out our priorities.
