Don't Just Let It Slip Away..

Her name was Connie.
she's my dad's younger sister. Her life on earth ended on Sunday and got cremated today.

A cancer patient who recovered after an operation and accepted Christ when she almost died few months ago. But today, she's no longer here. never did we know that she would go on with Jesus so soon. The cause of her death is still unknown, probably due to her illness.

Though accepted Christ then, she never step into the church, and never had a chance to give her testimony of how God saved her from cancer. And buried in a buddhist way with all the chanting and songs as she never told her family that she wants to be buried as a christian. As the rituals were going on today for the cremation, as some people took joss stick and bowed before her, I really wonder what really is happening.

She never got a chance to tell these people that she's saved by Jesus. not a pastor to preach the good news that she's alive with Jesus in a place far greater, but instead, a buddhist monk praying for her death. Wasted her death without telling others about the great gospel. Yet, my heart still prays that the rest of the people who are present, would somehow know that Jesus is our Saviour. But still, I give thanks that she accepted Christ into her life and I dearly respect her, and knowing that one day I will see her in heaven.

So people, we really do not know when death will finally crawl up to us. Think of what is important and cherish it. Do not procrasinate. Tell others about the great gospel before we end up before Jesus. Imagine standing before God and telling Him that you never tell others about Him before. Or imagine you standing beside God looking at people praying to you. I hope that we won't waste our lives my beloved brothers and sisters. Do what that truly matters.

in Haggai 1:5-8

5Now this is what the LORD almighty says: "Give careful thought to your ways. 6You have planteed much, but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it" 7This is what the Lord almighty says: "Give careful thought to your ways, Go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build the house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored," says the LORD.

Things in this world will never satisfy us for long, money, pleasures, food, homes.. These things will go away one day. but only what's done for God will remain, for when we die, we go to the LORD. what on earth will remain? not fame, not money, not food, not pleasures.. Let us therefore give careful thought about our ways.


ONLY ONE LIFE T'WILL SOON BE PAST
ONLY WHAT'S DONE FOR CHRIST WILL LAST!
