Survive


Ecclesiastes 6:8 New English Translation (NET Bible)

8 So what advantage does a wise man have over a fool?
And what advantage does a pauper gain by knowing how to survive?

 

 

If the only thing that will survive in the entire creation

it's the gift of Love from God ... through His Son’s validation.

 

How much of that Love is me ... how much in forever?

What is left of who is “to be” ...  recognized now or never?

 

Will others see the whole of me ... or just a little remnant?

that is blowing towards Eternity ... to face heart’s contentment?
