I Met My Master Face To Face!
Note:
We received the following in an email and thought its message was powerful and worth sharing. Unfortunately, the author is unknown.
I had walked life’s path with an easy tread,
Had followed where comfort and pleasure led;
And then by chance in a quiet place,
I met my Master face to face.
With station and rank and wealth for goal,
Much thought for body but none for soul,
I had entered to win this life’s mad race –
When I met my Master face to face.
I had built my castles, reared them high,
Till their towers had pierced the blue of the sky;
I had sworn to rule with an iron mace
When I met my Master face to face.
I met Him and knew Him, and blushed to see
That His eyes full of sorrow were fixed on me;
And I faltered, and fell at His feet that day
While my castles vanished and melted away.
Melted and vanished; and in their place
I saw naught else but my Master’s face;
And I cried aloud: “Oh, make me meet
To follow the marks of Thy wounded feet.”
My thought is now for the souls of men;
I have lost my life to find it again,
Ever since alone in that holy place
My Master and I stood face to face.

Are you right with God? If not, we encourage you to do so. Don’t wait—do it today! By ourselves, we are not worthy to go to Heaven.
But God loved us and counted us worthy enough to die for us and offered us the way to Heaven—if we accept it. Please see “God’s Free Gift.”
