Temporary Password

 The other day, I went on-line to check an account and found that it no longer recognized my Username or Password. I tried everything, even clicking on the 'forgot password' link.  In frustration, I knew instead of going on-line, I would have to walk-in to the Local Branch Office to get this problem fixed.  While there, I was given a temporary password to use once I reached home.  I asked the gal who helped me at the window, "Will this password expire in 15 minutes?"  (Finishing my errands and driving home would take me a lot longer than 15 minutes.)  She assured me that this password would work all day.

When I got home, turned on my computer, and entered the temporary password, I found that it, indeed, expired after 15 minutes; I ended up having to call the 1-800 number to receive another temporary password.  (I made sure to Login before the next 15 minutes!)

It made me realize how many things in this life are truly temporary.  Even physical life itself is temporary, But God promises ETERNAL LIFE through His Son, Jesus Christ.

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Romans 6:23

Many religions today say you can lose your salvation.  I find that so sad and tragic.  Friend, when You turn from your sin and turn to Jesus Christ, you are promised Eternal Life.  Forever.  Never ending.

Even Jesus Himself tells us so:

"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.  My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand."

Words of Jesus, John 10:27-29

Eternal life requires no temporary passwords...

    Just Jesus...

        But that's just me!

I try to find a quote to go along with my writings, a quote by some well-known person, and I found this quote best of all.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Jesus Christ-John 3:16
