-Where to Start-

Where to start - Where to end

The chapter has closed

The book has just begun

We conquer the hill

To reach the mountain

Our hearts find happiness

But never satisfaction

We always want more

Yearn for what we do not have

But how rarely we see

What a promise has been said

He'll supply all of our needs

No more - No less

So why, with this promise

Can we not see beyond the mess

Where to start - Our beginning 

Given life and breath

Where to end - The story untold

Easily we assume finished at death

We fail to remember the mountain

We allow the chapter to be the book

This life is not the end

But merely the stepping stone to a life with no end

If you seek satisfaction - Seek it in Christ

If you yearn for what you don't have - Yearn for what's eternally in store

Let not the life be the end 

Our momentary dreams and desire

Let nothing of this world be our hearts yearning

For our God is an all-consuming fire

Hebrews 12:28-29, "Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire."
