Forget YOLO

Child of God,

You are going to live forever

In a new heaven and a new earth.

While the world chants “YOLO”—

You Only Live Once—

John saw the true vision on Patmos:

“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth…

And I heard… ‘Behold, the dwelling place of God

Is with man…’” (Revelation 21:1,3).

The real you

Will live and reign

On the real earth

That will be mystically joined

With heaven.

Your selfsame body will be glorified,

But you will be you.

This selfsame earth will be glorified,

But the earth will be the earth.

So, let all fear be banished

As I bless you today

To know for sure,

In Christ, you live forever!
