It could be me, it could be you, no one knows their destinies or their tomorrow. How hard it is not even know your purpose in this life. No matter how big or rich you can be, all of our graves will be the same and we are going to the ground the same. No one will go to his or her own place after death; at least our bodies will be the same, decompose.
The most tragic thing is to see young people dying and one thing I know is that no parent want to bury their kids. When my close friends die that makes me scared; what if I’m next, what if tomorrow, families, friends and enemies will gather in my home because of my passing. What if tomorrow I will be the one who is lying down on his back dead with dreams that are far not fulfilled!
What if when I’m going to the funeral of my friend I will be the one who dies on the way there. What if, just in case I don’t die but become permanently paralysed! Who will be my friend, when I can’t write anymore, when I can’t speak and advice no one anymore, when I become like a cabbage and all that I knew I know no more! What if just in case you are next and you know about it, what would you do! What if God warns you that today it’s your last day! What if He says to you repent if you want to live and continue live right after that, which means all the things you loved you must let them go, would you do that.
Would you give it all that you have and know and love just for God and love and follow Him alone. Not following your twitter people, not being friends with your facebook people, not having any association with any social networks or any person of importance. What if God says, be mine alone and focus on Me and I shall bless you abundantly, would you do that? Again if He says follow me I have eternal life for you, I mean eternity is far yet closer, would you agree? Would you say yes to God even if you face many difficulties and suffer hunger and embarrassing moments of poverty and strife just because you follow Him, would you unfollow Him? Would you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, if He says I died for you and you alone. If He reminds you that you were nothing but He loved you enough to leave all His glory from His throne and came down to lead, to save, to reconcile and to bless you more and more abundantly.
Who is it that you believe more in this life, God, or yourself?
What if you are to die today or now, what would you like people to say about you? What mark and impact or legacy are you leaving behind? Don’t tell me that you are young! We shall all die but are you ready, will you be ready when that appointment comes knocking in your door? I am ready and prepared to die but not ready and prepared how will I die.
I’ve done my best and still doing it even today.
