“Faith in God is the best insurance when you’re faced with personal tragedy or a natural disaster. An insurance company can reimburse your financial loss, repair your home or car, and help you start again in business, but only God can mend your broken heart.”

POEM ON A CHRISTIAN GRAVESTONE

The following testimony was impressed on a tombstone:

 

No one asked me whether I wanted to be born, But I was. No one asked me whether I wanted to die, But I did.

 

One day between the two Someone asked me whether I wanted to die  So I could live, And I did.?

Then that One told me I was born again, And I was.Soon the same One will tell me to live once more, And I will.
