"God's Book"

The Master's Key Life is a book,

With chapters of three;

The past, the present, and yet to be.

The first has been read, and is laid away.

The second we are reading; day by day.

The third and last; of the chapters three;

Is hidden from sight. only God has the key.

"True Friend"

Sometimes in life,

You find a Special Friend;

Someone who changes your life

Just by being part of it.

Someone who makes you laugh

until you can't stop.

Someone who convinces you

that there really is an unlocked door

just waiting for you to open it.

This is Forever Friendship

When you're down,

and the world seems dark and empty,

Your Forever Friend lifts you up in spirits

and makes that dark and empty world

suddenly seem bright and full.

Your Forever Friend guides you

and cheers you on.

Your Forever Friend holds your hand

and tells you that everything is going to be okay.

And if you find such a Friend,

you feel happy and complete,

because you need not worry.

You have a Forever Friend for life,

and Forever has no end.

"Eternal Ink"

I dreamed I was in Heaven

Where an angel kept God's book.

He was writing so intently I just had to take a look.

It was not, at first, his writing

That made me stop and think

But the fluid in the bottle

That was marked eternal ink.

This ink was most amazing,

Dark black upon his blotter

But as it touched the parchment

It became as clear as water.

The angel kept on writing,

But as quickly as a wink

The words were disappearing

With that strange eternal ink.

The angel took no notice,

But kept writing on and on.

He turned each page and filled it

Till all its space was gone.

I thought he wrote to no avail,

His efforts were so vain

For he wrote a thousand pages

That he'd never read again

And as I watched and wondered that

This awesome sight was mine,

I actually saw a word stay black

As it dried upon the line.

The angel wrote and I thought I saw a look of satisfaction.

At last he had some print to show for all his earnest action.

A line or two dried dark and stayed as black as black can be,

But strangely the next paragraph became invisible to see.

The book was getting fuller, the angel's records true,

But most of it was blank, with just a few words coming through.

I knew there was some reason, but as hard as I could think,

I couldn't grasp the significance of that eternal ink.

The mystery burned within me, and I finally dared to ask

The angel to explain to me of his amazing task.

And what I heard was frightful as the angel turned his head.

He looked directly at me, and this is what he said....

I know you stand and wonder at what my writing's worth

But God has told me to record the lives of those on Earth.

The book that I am filling is an accurate account

Of every word and action and to what they do amount.

And since you have been watching I must tell you what is true;

The details of my journal are the strict accounts of you.

The Lord asked me to watch you as each day you worked and played.

I saw you as you went to church, I saw you as you prayed.

But I was told to document your life through all the week.

I wrote when you were proud and bold, I wrote when you were meek.

I recorded all your attitudes whether they were good or bad.

I was sorry that I had to write the things that make God sad.

So now I'll tell the wonder of this eternal ink,

For the reason for its mystery should make you stop and think.

This ink that God created to help me keep my journal

Will only keep a record of things that are eternal.

So much of life is wasted on things that matter not

So instead of my erasing, smudging ink and ugly blot.

I just keep writing faithfully and let the ink do the rest

For it is able to decide what's useless and what's best.

And God ordained that as I write of all you do and say

Your deeds that count for nothing wiil just disappear away.

When books are opened someday, as sure as Heaven is true;

The Lord's eternal ink will tell what mattered most to you.

I fyou just lived to please yourself the pages will be bare,

And God will issue no reward for you when you get there.

In fact, you'll be embarrassed, you will hange your head in shame

Because you did not yourself in love to Jesus' Name.

Yet maybe there will be a few recorded lines that stayed that showed the times you truly cared, sincerely loved and prayed.

But you will always wonder as you enter Heaven's door

How much more glad you would have been if only you'd done more.

For I record as God sees, I don't stop to even think

Because the Truth is written with God's eternal ink.

When I heard the angel's story I fell down and wept and cried

For as yet I still was dreaming I hadn't really died.

And I said: "O angel tell the Lord that soon as I awake

I'll live my life for Jesus ~ I'll do all for His dear sake.

I'll give in full surrender; I'll do all He wants me to;

I'll turn my back on self and sin and whatever isn't true.

And though the way seems long and rough I promise to endure.

I'm determined to pursue the things that are holy, clean and pure."

With Jesus as my helper, I will win lost souls to Thee,

For I know that they will live with Christ for all eternity.

And that's what really matters when my life on earth is gone

That I will stand before the Lord and hear Him say, well done.

For is it really worth it as my life lies at the brink?

And I realize that God keeps books with His eternal ink.

Should all my life be focused on things that turn to dust?

From this point on I'll serve the Lord; I can, I will, I must!

I will NOT send blank pages up to God's majestic throne

For where that record's going now is my eternal home.

I'm giving all to Jesus as I now have seen the link

For I saw an angel write my life with God's eternal ink.
