IF YOU KNEW THIS WOULD BE YOUR LAST DAY

If you knew that this would be the last day of your life on earth, as it could be, what would you say to others today? What message would you want to give to your loved ones; to your friends; to all who have crossed your path at some time? We hope that everyone lives a long and healthy life, but the fact is, most people will not know when their last day will come.

When I think about this, the thought is disturbing. After I leave this earth it will be too late to say something that might have made a difference in someone’s life, and their after life. I know that many opportunities have been missed to more than comfort a friend, or to give them just what they need for their faith. I am not anybody special but just have a great desire that everyone will have the same wonderful experience with the Lord that I have. Some of you have had Heavenly contacts closer than I, but others haven’t.

For a while I have thought about this and wondered what should have been said to others when the chance was there. Some might say “just mind your own business”. But this is my business. Jesus commanded his disciples and then everyone to spread His Word. We are all charged with doing this, so I am only one of the millions who may be on Jesus’ mission.

The best present we could ever give to another is the gift of faith in Jesus Christ. Knowing Him and believing He is our Lord and Savior is the only path to Heaven. Jesus made this very clear when he said: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”, John 14:6. This is the message that I should have given to everyone. Although this has been a part of some emails, I know that opportunities in conversation have been missed. Perhaps I should have opened the subject by saying: “What do you think is wrong with the world?” Then after their reply: “Do you think that Jesus is the answer?” Then “What was His purpose in coming to earth?”

So if this should be the last day of my life, I want this message to be in every contact that I make today. If this is not the last day, then I want to take every opportunity in the future to convey this precious message.
