In
my house, which is a beautiful house, I am given to move.
The
choice is mine, of course, but I follow at the Word of the Lord.
But
in my going, I can not take but only one thing.
So
choose I am told, from the wealth and treasures I laboriously stored.
This
task is mighty and a most arduous and difficult decision to make.
For
the Lord has blessed me tremendously,
And
has provided me with a rich man’s ransom.
But
one earthly possession is all I am allowed to take.
So
I must choose what it will be that I will carry
From
this house the world would call a mansion.
From
room to room I search out for this most valued treasure.
Will
it be proof of my success and luxury or a more simple item that
Measures
the heart?
I
think of who I am and how I became a man of such wealth.
And
although it was I that did the task, it was God that brought me through
From
the start.
The
item must reflect what God, through His Son, Jesus accomplished.
And
because of His blood cleansing on me, I stand as the best evidence
Of
His grace.
For
without the blood of Jesus, my faith would not have grown, my hope would be
lost. But He gave me love from His
Spirit and taught me how to prepare to finish life’s great race.
Yes,
this one thing must be an example of what Jesus did for me.
My
life is the witness of the testament of Jesus and how He secured me from
evil’s
Terror.
All
my possessions will come to an end, and must perish.
Therefore,
in order to remind me what Jesus did for me, from this place I take but a
Mirror.
This
simple trinket is all that I choose as I vacate this place.
I
know I have God’s Word in my heart and His Holy Spirit living inside me.
So
I freely move from my house to be planted in a new field,
For
Christ in me will be the seed which will cause other’s to grow
Into
what God wants them to be.
Selah
