RUNNING OUT OF TIME

Have you ever felt like you just didn’t have enough time to do the things you really want to do? You get to the end of the day, or the week, and you realize that even though you were very busy, you didn’t get done some of the important things you were planning on accomplishing. You go to bed thinking that maybe tomorrow is the day you get it done, only to repeat the same cycle – over and over. Every day that goes by is another day in the books and a day that we’ll never get back – and can often feel like a wasted day. 

However, one of the best feelings in the world is when you actually get something important accomplished that has been on your list for a while. 

Whether we realize it or not, time is running out.

Not only is time running out for your “List of things to do”, but we are also running out of time here on this earth. Whether it’s because of our personal transition into eternity, or the Rapture of the Church when Jesus comes to take us with Him, our days are limited. It’s time to get ready for the inevitable – Eternity! 

How do we get ready for that moment of transition? 

1) You make sure that you have made your peace with God by believing in Jesus Christ as your Savior & Lord and accepting his forgiveness because of  the cross.

2) You take every opportunity to use your God-given Gifts and talents to help and serve as many people as possible.

3) You/we need to do whatever it takes to reach as many people as we can to tell them about the love and Good News of Jesus Christ. In other words, we need to help as many people as possible prepare for their Eternity. 

We don’t know when that day will be, but we want to be ready, whenever it is. I want to be able to say like Paul did in Acts 20:24 ... my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.
