We all do fade as a leaf

“we all do fade as a leaf”

Isaiah 64.6

It’s true – we all DO fade as a leaf.

It may sound very sad and depressing for some – and this passage is certainly a warning!

“But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” (Isaiah 64:6)

There is no way to avoid it!  We may look after our health, we may get the rest we need, we may wear cosmetic products that help us look a bit younger - but, “we all do fade as a leaf”!

“Only one life twill soon be past…”  have you turned from sin to the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation?  Have you realized that trying to be good and do good is not enough to save?  Have you received His righteousness?

Only one life twill soon be past, only what’s done for Christ will last… Trust Christ Jesus as your Saviour, then even though, “we all do fade as a leaf” – in Christ there is so much to live for and then – because we know Christ – we can even enjoy the beauty of those things that do fade!

Run with patience,
