| “Abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming” (1 John 2:28). |
| I don’t suppose that any of you are already looking back on your life with regrets! But if you approach old age someday, there are likely quite a few things that you may wish you had taken time to do or learn. Other things, you will wish you had not wasted the time on! You might wish you had really spent time on those piano lessons, and later in life could enjoy the results more. Or perhaps you will wish you had become fluent in another language. Both are very useful skills. How about those many hours on computer games and social media? |
| But there is one thing you will never regret, and that is every moment spent with the Lord Jesus, and in doing something for Him. Here is a favorite hymn of mine. If you do not know it, you can put the first line into your computer search engine and enjoy hearing it sung. It is truly beautiful and heart-searching. |
| By and by when I look on His face, Beautiful face, thorn-shadowed face; By and by when I look on His face, I’ll wish I had given Him more. More, so much more, More of my life than I e’er gave before, By and by when I look on His face, I’ll wish I had given Him more. By and by when He holds out His hands, Welcoming hands, nail-riven hands; By and by when He holds out His hands, I’ll wish I had given Him more. More, so much more, More of my love than I e’er gave before, By and by when He holds out His hands, I’ll wish I had given Him more. In the light of that heavenly place, Light from His face, beautiful face; In the light of that heavenly place, I’ll wish I had given Him more. More, so much more, Treasures unbounded for Him I adore, By and by when I look on His face, I’ll wish I had given Him more. |
