I will Never Pass Away By Holly Vecchio

Scripture: I Cor.15 : 42-44

“So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it s sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.”

Questions for reflection and application:

• How am I preparing today for my life in eternity?
• What can I do today to reflect eternal values with the temporary blessings God has given to me?

Thought for today:

I will never pass away!
I will not!
At some time this temple will no longer
shelter me

And I will die.
But I will not pass away!
Look, though!
I will pass on!

I will hear the evensong
And I will respond to its call,
And I will pass on into a love so deep that it cannot be told.
But I will never pass away.
I will not!

Trembling in anticipation, washed in thankfulness, exhilarated by
joy —
I will encounter the steadfast love that endures forever —
And I will pass on into it

To glorify God and enjoy Him forever —
And I will never pass away!

Amen! So be it! Amen!
