Bro. John:<\/span><\/p>\n

I have been reading Zoli’s wonderful testimonies on FB, and some of the unfavorable comments towards the truth.\u00a0 As I read them, I was reminded of a poem you wrote in September 1993.\u00a0 I have hung onto the copy that I have for many years.\u00a0 I pull it out and read it every now and then to remind myself of how useless man’s opinions and thoughts are.\u00a0 Without the holy Ghost and the\u00a0truth of God in our hearts, what will it matter, at last?\u00a0 As the Lord told you many years ago, “What difference does it make what men say about anything?”<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0 And I remember when the Spirit woke me one morning with, “This world and its meanings will all pass away.\u00a0 Jesus is the only sure thing.”<\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I love the absolute sobering truth and strength\u00a0in the words you wrote.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Will It Matter, At Last?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

John David Clark, Sr.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

September 30, 1993<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

What will it matter, when life is past?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

What will it matter, at last?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

When all the honor men can give<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Is given, yet we still must live?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Though many curse, and few forgive<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

What will it matter, at last?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

What will it matter, though men despise,<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And now avert their lofty eyes?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

When Jesus Christ bestows his prize<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

What will it matter, at last?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

What will it matter, when life is o\u2019er,<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And tongues of strife can strive no more?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

When angry gazes all have burned<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And hateful men the truth must learn?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

When Christ no longer will be spurned,<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And closes tight the door?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“Fret not thyself in any wise<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

to sin”, but seize upon the prize.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

How can it touch the man who dies<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

And penetrates the darkened glass?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Be strong in faith.\u00a0\u00a0Endure the shame.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

What will it matter, at last?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

He\u00a0made the way.\u00a0\u00a0We bear the blame,<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

But what will it matter, at last?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
