The Master Calls

It is always sad and heartbreaking when we loose a loved one. It's at those times that we take comfort in words of others, a memory or in written words. This poem came out of the blue as I thought about those that have gone on before me. Since then I have shared it ..hopefully as a blessing to others to find comfort in the midst of sorrow.

The Master Calls
It is time" the Master Calls, to cross over the river to your new home."
"I will take your hand, so do not fear, I will walk with you, you're not alone."
The struggles of life are only a faint shadow compared to the glory above.
Only there will you find perfect peace and rest in the arms of God's Love.

"It is time" the Master Calls," to be welcomed by those who have gone before."
"Contentment you will find in knowing, I have lovingly made a home for one more."
Many build life on riches and fame the value of which will soon be lost forever,
But those final moments the value of family and friends will be a lasting treasure.

"It is time" the Master Calls, “for you left behind; to know this is a part of My plan."
"The Circle of Life is a mystery, but now take comfort as some day you will understand."
There will come a time, when calm assurance will replace the sorrow,
Soon the darkness of the night will be past and joy will come on the morrow.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.

John 14:2
In my Father's house are many mansions:
if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
