What's going to happen to you when you die? Will it all just end? Will you respawn just like the way it works in video games? Are you just going to feel like you’re asleep?
Well, I believe that in the end, we will each have to stand before God.
If I am right about this (which I 100% believe I am), then are you living in a way that prepares you for eternal life?
I know sometimes I’m not. Sin gets in the way, my vision gets clouded, and I get too caught up in what makes me happy in the moment rather than focusing on what God wants for my life.
Look, you don’t have to agree with me on what happens after we die, but I’m sure you can agree with me on the fact that our days in this lifetime are limited. And I’m sure you can also agree with me on the fact that they can end at any time. Car accidents, illnesses, and acts of terror are all real. We don’t know how or when we’re going to go.
I think we lose sight of that way too often. What if we walked around with a watch on our wrists telling us exactly how much time we had left? Would we be living any differently?
From the time I was a little girl, I always heard the cliché "you can change the world" thing. One time, though, a teacher was honest with me about the impact we can make. This is what he said:
"Unless you completely reinvent the wheel, you probably aren’t going to be able to change the world. However, you can change your corner of the world."
What are you doing to make things better for the people in your life? Are you a positive influence? A negative influence? Are you reaching out and truly doing the best that you can do? Are you using your talents wisely?
Are you living as if each day is your last?
