  HOW DEEP A LIFE
SOH Productions


I wanted to share a poem with you today. It’s called, “How Deep a Life.”

How long we live is not for us to say.
We may have years ahead, or but a day.
The length of life is not of our control.
But length is not the measure of a soul.

Not length, but width and depth define the span,
By which the world takes measure of a man.
It matters not how long before we sleep,
But only how wide is our life, how deep.

I was thinking about that poem, and I was thinking about how there are people who are ninety years old and they haven’t accomplished much for the Lord in their lives. 

Then I was thinking about younger people who are doing a lot for the Lord, trying to do something to make a difference in this world. For example, Jesus. He accomplished so much in so little time. He was in his early thirties, and he did so much. He set an example for us, so we could follow His footsteps. 

So it doesn’t matter how long our life is really. What matters is what we do with the time we have, whether it be long or it be short. So as long as we strive to do our very best every day we will know that we have lived a life worth living.
