Hebrews 13:7 Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.

I think about the men and women who have taught me the faith and remember them fondly. Some were those who taught me in my youth. Others lived out their faith with confidence and conviction in the face of trials and hardships. These days, there are fewer and fewer of those folks on this side of heaven. They have received their promised crown.

Revelation 2:10 Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.

I have now reached the point in my life where I have a Medicare card. I don’t know how many more trips around the sun I will make, but I pray that God will continue to work through me so that others will come to know and love and believe in my Jesus.

There is a song by Anne Wilson that conveys what I hope to do in my life. You can listen to one arrangement of it at the link below.

Who would take my cross to Calvary?
Pay the price for all my guilty?
Who would care that much about me?
Let me tell you ’bout my Jesus
