been in the back of your mind for a long time? It would be life changing. Would you make a list of everyone you have hurt and attempt to make things right. One by one, would you ask their forgiveness and dissolve the fear and pain of being accountable for their scarring? Would you put your conscious and theirs at rest forever for the path of devastation you left behind?
The truth is that God only gives us life one day at a time; actually one breath at a time. If we want to get right with the Lord, we should begin now and not put it off for twenty-four hours. Jesus walked softly and treaded lightly on humanity. He was on less than a twenty-four hour notice at Calvary and did not have to back-track a single moment before the time was upon him. We live because he chose not to for us. Why can’t we surrender our stubborn hearts and do God’s will for however many 24-hour days he gives us by our own offering of an apology to everyone we have hurt? Then we will really begin to live life without a clock ticking, free from all earthly entanglements and restrictions. Death has no claim on us. Thank you, Jesus.
