Author Wesley Duewel wrote the following poem called, “Invest Your Life for God”: Invest your time for eternity; Invest your life for the life to be Forever gone are the hours you’ve lost. Don’t waste your life; count again the cost Your money place in the Savior’s hand; It’s only safe when on heaven’s strand. You never lose what you give to God, But lose all else when beneath the sod. Invest your work in the Savior’s plan; Work hard for God and His will for man. Don’t count the hours that you toil and plod- You’ll reap again all you do for God. Don’t waste your life for a passing joy; Don’t sell your soul for a fragile toy. Give till it hurts; give your very blood- You live but once; live all out for God. That beautiful piece of poetry expresses well the great rewards awaiting those who redeem the time. From Measure your life 1992 Zondervan.
