“I shall not pass this way again; let me now relieve some pain, remove some barrier from the road, or lighten someone’s heavy load.” -Eva Rose York
Find Us Faithful
by Jon Mohr
“We’re pilgrims on the journey of the narrow road,
And those who’ve gone before us line the way;
Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary,
Their lives a stirring testament to God’s sustaining grace.
Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,
Let us run the race not only for the prize,
But as those who’ve gone before us,
Let us leave to those behind us
The heritage of faithfulness passed on through Godly lives.
After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone,
And our children sift through all we’ve left behind;
May the clues that they discover, and the mem’ries they uncover
Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find.
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful;
May the fire of our devotion light their way;
May the footprints that we leave lead them to believe;
And the lives we live inspire them to obey,
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful.”
ASK THE BIG QUESTIONS!
–What are the footprints that I’ve left behind?
–What story do they tell to others?
–Are they a testament of self denial and cross bearing to follow the Lord?
–Do they reveal the importance of faithfulness to one’s profession?
–Do they demonstrate consistency with one’s commitments?
–Are they true to one’s calling?
–Are they the example of a believer?
Where do they ultimately lead?
