The Blink of an Eye
I was sitting around doing some bible reading today and something really hit me. I am approximately 1/4 of the way through my life, probably more than that. For most of you, it is probably the same thing, or perhaps even more. We have only a very brief amount of time on this earth. While this is our temporary home, it is still our home, filled with people we love who are going not going to be in heaven if they die right now. We have been given the gift of time. The gift of Jesus' love and power. The gift of being able to share it. And how often do we do it? What does your life mean if you don't help anyone else in their walk with Christ? What can you take with you when you die? You graduate high school, get into college, graduate, get a job, have a family, retire, and die. All of those are great things. But if you aren't sharing the extraordinary gift that you have been given, what are you really doing? Your life will be gone in the blink of an eye. Once it's gone, you don't get it back. Use it wisely. Remember why you are here and what you are supposed to do. Remember that many people you love don't have the gift that you have. Go and share it with them. Is their soul not worth your time? Is their eternal life no worth the chance that they might reject you? Come on guys. Stop worrying about stupid things like what people think about you. If you love them, you would do everything in your power to save them, and that starts with telling them about Jesus.
