“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7).
Yesterday we had the privilege of holding in our arms, for the first time, our first little great-grandchild. She was three weeks old and of course we thought she was a most beautiful little girl! We were reminded of what my wife’s aunt wrote to us on the birth of our first child (this baby’s grandmother). On her card she put the words, “Another little life, born to live as long as God lives.”
What a solemn thought this is! When a tiny baby is born, it has a never-dying soul. We pass through this life, and some of the days in your life may seem very long to you, as young people. The years until you can achieve some of your dreams may seem far away! But our life is like a puff of smoke carried away on the wind. It is brief, but so very important. In the short time we have in this world, we have to make the most important decision of our life. Where will you spend eternity? You have a choice, and in His love, the Lord Jesus is holding out His nailed-pierced hands, inviting you to spend eternity with Him.
