My One and Only Selfie

The only selfie,
I am going to take
is when I go through
the straight gate.

I can't wait to see,
how I will look
when I see my name
in the Lamb's book.

I know I'll be beaming,
from the light of the Son
as the picture will show
the good race I have won.

It will be a photo,
of glory and rewards
one that I will always
look anxiously towards.

The only selfie,
I will ever take...
is standing with Jesus
at the straight gate!

Matthew 7:13-14

"Enter ye in at the strait gate:
for wide is the gate, and broad
is the way, that leadeth to
destruction, and many there
be which go in thereat:

Because strait is the gate,
and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life,
and few there be that find it."
