I dreamed I was in heaven
Where an angel kept God's book.
He was writing so intently
I just had to take a look.

It was not, at first, his writing
That made me stop and think
But the fluid in the bottle
That was marked eternal ink.


This ink was most amazing,
Dark black upon his blotter
But as it touched the parchment
It became as clear as water.

The angel kept on writing,
But as quickly as a wink
The words were disappearing
With that strange eternal ink.



The angel took no notice,
But kept writing on and on.
He turned each page and filled it
Till all its space was gone.

I thought he wrote to no avail,
His efforts were so vain
For he wrote a thousand pages
That he'd never read again.



And as I watched and wondered that
This awesome sight was mine,
I actually saw a word stay black
As it dried upon the line.

The angel wrote and I thought I saw
A look of satisfaction.
At last he had some print to show,
For all his earnest action.



A line or two dried dark and stayed
As black as black can be,
But strangely the next paragraph
Became invisible to see.

The book was getting fuller,
The angel's records true,
But most of it was blank, with
Just a few words coming through.



I knew there was some reason,
But as hard as I could think,
I couldn't grasp the significance
Of that eternal ink.

The mystery burned within me,
And I finally dared to ask
The angel to explain to me
Of his amazing task.



And what I heard was frightful
As the angel turned his head.
He looked directly at me,
And this is what he said...

I know you stand and wonder
At what my writing's worth
But God has told me to record
The lives of those on earth.



The book that I am filling
Is an accurate account
Of every word and action
And to what they do amount.

And since you have been watching
I must tell you what is true;
The details of my journal
Are the strict accounts of YOU.



The Lord asked me to watch you
As each day you worked and played.
I saw you as you went to church,
I saw you as you prayed.

But I was told to document
Your life through all the week.
I wrote when you were proud and bold,
I wrote when you were meek.



I recorded all your attitudes
Whether they were good or bad.
I was sorry that I had to write
The things that make God sad.

So now I'll tell the wonder
Of this eternal ink,
For the reason for its mystery
Should make you stop and think.



This ink that God created
To help me keep my journal
Will only keep a record of
Things that are eternal.

So much of life is wasted
On things that matter not
So instead of my erasing,
Smudging ink and ugly blot.



I just keep writing faithfully and
Let the ink do all the rest
For it is able to decide
What's useless and what's best.

And God ordained that as I write
Of all you do and say
Your deeds that count for nothing
Will just disappear away.



When books are opened someday,
As sure as heaven is true;
The Lord's eternal ink will tell
What mattered most to you.

If you just lived to please yourself
The pages will be bare,
And God will issue no reward
For you when you get there.



In fact, you'll be embarrassed,
You will hang your head in shame
Because you did not give yourself
In love to Jesus' Name.

Yet maybe there will be a few
Recorded lines that stayed
That showed the times you truly cared,
Sincerely loved and prayed.



But you will always wonder
As you enter heaven's door
How much more glad you would have been
If only you'd done more.

For I record as God sees,
I don't stop to even think
Because the truth is written
With God's eternal ink.



When I heard the angel's story
I fell down and wept and cried
For as yet I still was dreaming
I hadn't really died.

And I said: O angel tell the Lord
That soon as I awake
I'll live my life for Jesus-
I'll do all for His dear sake.



I'll give in full surrender;
I'll do all He wants me to;
I'll turn my back on self and sin
And whatever isn't true.

And though the way seems long and rough
I promise to endure.
I'm determined to pursue the things
That are holy, clean and pure.



With Jesus as my helper,
I will win lost souls to Thee,
For I know that they will live
With Christ For all eternity & that's

What really matters When my life
On earth is gone That I will stand
Before the Lord & hear Him say,
Well Done.

Salvation

Romans 10:9-11
that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord,
and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead,
you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes,
resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses,
resulting in salvation.
For the Scripture says,
"Whoever believes in Him will not be DISAPPOINTED.

John 5:24
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word,
and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life,
and does not come into judgment,
but has passed out of death into life.

2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature;
the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

Ephesians 2:8-10
For by grace you have been saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;
not as a result of works, that no one should boast.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Matthew 10:32
Everyone therefore who shall confess Me before men,
I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven.

Galatians 5:24-25
Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified
the flesh with its passions and desires.
If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

John 3:16-18
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish,
but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son
into the world to judge the world,
but that the world should be saved through Him.
He who believes in Him is not judged;
he who does not believe has been judged already,
because he has not believed
in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

John 3:3
Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you,
unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

If after reading this page and you don't know God
as your personal savior,
please take the time to ask for forgiveness.
I have given you some scripture to refer to and
you may email me and I will be honor to pray with you
and for you. None of us know what tomorrow may bring and
asking for forgiveness and being born again will the
greatest joy you will ever know.
Don't put this off for you may not have another chance.
If you are not sure how or what to say just repeat after me
the sinner's prayer.

The Sinner's Prayer
"Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner and
I invite you into my life today.
I ask for forgiveness of my sins
and ask You to be my personal Saviour.
I am trusting in You and You alone for my salvation.
Lord please forgive me. I want a better life.
I will not ignore you any longer.
I believe You suffered and died on the cross
to pay the FULL price for my sin, and to give me new life
and that You rose again from the grave.
I surrender everything I have to you today and
I thank You for saving me.
In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen."
