Today may be your last

I know no one likes hearing  about death but I hear about death all the time and I'm not talking old people, no I'm talking about 19, 20 year olds. Its so sad how we have our lives all planned out and it could just end in a second.

A woman died earlier this week, she was shopping and next thing she dropped dead. Sad, isn't it? I bet in a million years she never would have imagined that that day would be her last. She probably never knew that she wouldn't see November. The truth is we are all dying, with every second that passes we are closer to the day we die. Some of us still have decades, others a few years and some of us are on our last week.

The sad thing about death is 'he takes no fun in catching up to those who already expect his arrival. If you were death: would you rather take the 80 year old preacher on his death bed singing to Jesus about going to beyond or the 18 year old boy at the club thinking that he's got his whole life to live right oblivious that he's five heartbeats away from, four breaths away from, three seconds away from, too late to keep a stray bullet from saying hello to his lungs; looks like life just lost one' Jackie Hill.

You say 'life is short', but in all honesty you don't truly believe it. Most of us think that if we just keep quiet about death then it won't happen to us. WRONG because the harsh reality is 'it is appointed unto man to die', its just that simple. We all will die, its just a matter of time. Your plans of marriage and children and old age won't keep you from dying.


You see the problem is you don't think you're gonna die tomorrow, neither do you think that Jesus is coming tomorrow because if you did, you'd forsake your sins, carry your cross and follow Jesus. Remember that life is only temporary and we are actually preparing for eternity.Get yourself prepared so you don't burn eternally. Your next moment is not promised so abandon your sins now 'for the wages of sin is death', Romans 6:23. Heaven is for all that will endure till the end.
