places seeking rest, and

In your life here on earth, you have the option to waffle about retirement decisions. But friend, a day is coming when your physical life here will end, and when it does, there is no turning back. No amount of "itch" to live again can overturn any decision. There will be no one to text or call or speak to privately about potential returns. And when that end comes, it will not be your choice, announced grandly before a captive audience.

But like in retirement where fishing and golf and other visions of physical leisure beckon, there is a paradise that awaits you. That paradise is eternity with God, an endless number of years to enjoy the pleasure of His company. There is a decision you can make about your end that does matter. And that decision rests completely on whether or not you choose to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior.

The Bible says that Jesus is the way, is the truth, is the life. And the Bible says if you believe in your heart and confess with your lips that He is Lord that you will be saved. And the Bible says that for those who are saved, He is preparing a place for them, and that he will return to take you to that prepared place, abiding with Him and the Father, forever.

No need to wait to any preset age like 55 1/2. That decision, and that end, and that end after the end, all of it can be yours today. Will you make that choice?
