Who Am I ?
Am I a righteous person?
I’d be lying if I said
yes.
At fifty-five years old, have I
succeeded in life?
No. Everything I touch
falls apart.
Have I been a real friend to
anyone?
No. I trust no one.
Have I been a good husband and
father?
From my point of
view, I would say yes, but I know that’s not
true.
Am I a lazy person?
I don’t think so, but
I’m sure I didn’t put this weight on by
overworking.
Am I an intelligent person?
I consider myself to
be, but I doubt you could find anyone who would
agree.
Can the world go on without me
when I die?
Absolutely. I’m
not even sure I’ll be missed.
Did I do everything I set out to
do in life?
No. I attempted most
of my dreams, but followed through on none of
them.
Does anyone know my deepest,
darkest secrets?
Only a few people
can even guess who I really am-no one really
knows me.
My life has been complicated. I
served in Vietnam when I was eighteen years old.
As a paratrooper in the army, I fought with the
101st Airborne Infantry. I saw many people die
and many more wounded. I survived without a
scratch.
When I ended my tour in the army, I
married a girl who, after seven years of
marriage, betrayed me. She divorced me to marry
my erstwhile best friend because he had a
doctor’s degree. We’d had a daughter;
she was ripped from my heart and I haven’t
seen her in over twenty-four years. To save face,
her mother lied to her about everything that had
to do with our divorce.
Anyone I have ever tried to believe
in has let me down.
One
last question:
Do I really believe I’m
going to heaven when I die?
Absolutely, but not
because of anything I’ve done; only because
I’ve put my faith in Jesus Christ. He
Will Never Let Me Down.
