"EIGHTY YEARS" |
Oh where, oh where is that happy land. Cried the old man. I gave my life to Jesus eighty years ago and I'm still alive. The old man went to a missionary and said "Eighty long miserable years ago I gave my life to Jesus. I wanted Him to take me to Heaven like He promised. But when I awoke the next morning I was still here. So I thought to myself, maybe He needs more time. So I waited. I waited eighty years for Him to come. But where is He? Why hasn't He come like He promised?" "My friend" said the missionary. "When you gave your life to Him it meant to serve Him and to tell others about Him. Not that you would die right then." That night the old man really gave his life to Jesus. The next week he died and met the Lord he had been seeking for Eighty Years!! WRITTEN BY JESSICA MAY -MARCH 11, 2000 |
