One life to live

This is it. We are here, we won't be coming back. We only have one chance to give our lives to God. We only have one opportunity to preach the gospel to all those around us. If someone was told they had three months to live, almost every one of us would do the things they wanted. Most of us would take time to be with friends and family. Many people would try to "get right with God". Most of us would do the things that we thought were really important. But if you think about what is going to happen... you have no idea what's coming. The future on this earth is so uncertain that I could die typing this blog post. When we think about how long we have to live, it doesn't matter if we live to be one or one hundred. It's just a vapor, our lives just appear for a little while and then disappear without us knowing what's going to happen. And still so many Christians are spending this tiny amount of time they have on this earth and using it to please themselves. I think of myself in the same way. I spend hours every day doing what I want. Sadly every hour I waste could be my last. I don't mean that we should always live afraid to die, and we should not live in fear of death, but always prepared. You have one life, how will you use it? One of the only good things that we can't do in heaven is evangelize. Once we get to heaven everyone around us will be saved, and what a joy that will be! Think about how you spend your time and money, what are you investing those things in? We only have one chance to give our entire lives to Christ, what are we waiting for?
