Time to get it together

I write this note tonight with a heavy heart. We often say things like “life is short��? and “tomorrow is not promised��?, but we don’t actually know the depth of what we are saying until something happens to people who are close to us.For the past two weeks, I have been dealing with this death thing and it’s been rough on me. I just left the funeral of a family member Monday only to come back home and find out that two other young people that I knew died. Death is so unfair. It is not respecter of persons. It doesn’t care if you’re black, white, Indian, Chinese, male or female. It often comes without warning. The question is, will you be ready? You can be literally here today and gone tomorrow. You can be reading this note today and leave this Earth tomorrow with no previous warning! Now that’s scary.Because what I just said is fact, we have to always make sure that we are firstly in right standing with God. Heaven and Hell are real, despite New Age popular belief. Yet, many people today live like there’s no after life. We have to make sure that everyday that we get out of the bed we are living to please God and to defeat the enemy.Secondly, we have to make sure that we stick close together and care for one another. We can’t assume that our friends and relatives know that we love them, we have to SAY it. We shouldn’t argue and say things we don’t mean and keep grudges and beef between us. It’s just not worth it.And my last piece of advice for you my friends is that we not put off till tomorrow what can and should be done today. Each day is a new opportunity and we should maximize every breathing moment that God gives us. Live today like it was your last day because again, you never know, it just may be.
