This poem was inspired by a comment to my poem last Thursday. I just started with a quote from the comment as the title. So how does this really fit into the Thankful Thursday theme, you ask? Well, I am thankful for the inspiration from a commenter and fellow blogger last week. I am thankful that although I have much in this world to be thankful for, if I lost all my material possessions today, and even if the world came to an end today, I would still have Jesus and He is all that really matters in the end.
He Is All That Matters
Blessings are given
All is forgiven
But He is all that matters
Friends betray
And move far away
Still He is all that matters
Homes we construct
Business we conduct
But He is all that matters
Houses upturn
Church buildings burn
Still He is all that matters
Careers are planned
Desires expand
But He is all that matters
Jobs are lost
We can’t pay the cost
Still He is all that matters
Weddings are celebrated
Children are dedicated
But He is all that matters
Children die
Spouses lie
Still He is all that matters
The trumpet sounds
Joy abounds
Then He restores all that matters
And then at last, the sign that the Son of Man is coming will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the peoples of the earth. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from all over the world—from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven. Matthew 24:30-31 (NLT).
