Sole Goal

"If you're wearing yellow you may go!" shouted the leader.

Two delighted girls instantly found yellow on their summer tops and 'went'.

However, no amount of pleading could persuade the leader that orange counted as yellow,

no matter how much little Luke insisted that 'it's almost yellow!'

Someday, if we have not followed the 'rules' God clearly laid out for this earthly challenge

there will be no exceptions made at the Gates of Heaven when we plead with 'almost'!

Let's make our 'calling and election sure' before it is too late because there is no changing the rules, ever.

There is One Way into Heaven; Jesus. His shed blood is our ransom and only if we believe in Him will we be saved!

  

A wise man makes his soul-goal his sole goal

Ah, kindly Keeper of each soul

Ah, love immaculate

Let us not blindly miss The Goal

Because we chose to wait

To delay is a deadly vice

Forbid that we fall prey

To Things that may seem safe and nice

But lead the heart astray

Death is not all that it appears

Beyond its silent pose

Begins a life not marked by years

Where soul of mortal goes

And there, forever-evermore

The Soul of man will be

Time’s day of grace is but a door

Into eternity
