Just As He Promised

Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”   John 6:35-40

someday the last line will be written,

there will be no more waiting,

no more searching for the final word,

no more pursuit of the perfect phrase,

nothing more to be saved;

I wonder if there will be closure,

I wonder if I will feel peace,

I wonder if I will have said it all,

I wonder if anyone will take notice,

I wonder if anyone will care;

I suspect in the end,

my words will die and decay away,

just as this fleshly body

will crumble into the dust

from whence it came;

it does not concern me,

for I will be with my LORD,

He will provide my sustenance,

He shall wipe away my tears,

He will fill me with joy,

He shall be my hope and redeemer,

He will make all things new,

He will provide all that I ever need;

just as He promised.
