True Gain

For he is no fool
Who gives, what he can’t keep
To gain, what he can’t lose
But instead, greatly reap.

They got what they wanted
But lost what they had
The story of many
So tragic, so sad.

Having so much
Yet feeling so empty
Ever needy, and searching
Amidst our great plenty.

Being godly, contented
Brings forth great gain
With food and clothing
We’re contented, remain.

But, for those seeking Truth
Follow Jesus, and His cross
Find new life, eternal
Must count all else, as loss.

So, heed a big warning
Given all we’ve received
Invest well, for our Master
Don’t hide it, deceived.

Know, in saving our life
Jesus said, we shall lose it
But if losing for Christ
We gain, God’s Holy Spirit.

As we each, look around
With our values and goals
Are they centered on Christ
And the saving of souls?

Yet, as we journey on
Do think on your passions
On sin and God’s judgment
Eternity, what happens?

Then, your greatest need
God has promised to fill it
If repenting, believing
Salvation, God’s Spirit.
