God gave you another day to live. Are you sharing what He has done for you with others?
This is one of the hardest things I have had to write… 😞
To those whose eternity is unknown…
Whether friend or family , eternity is coming for us all. The last thing I want is to doubly grieve your loss, not just physically, but because of the unknown as you stepped into eternity.
You kept to yourself, your beliefs your own . Maybe you knew the Lord, but if you did you never spoke of Him. Was He a stranger to you as you walked into His Kingdom? We never knew if you accepted Jesus’ Lordship in your life. Maybe we couldn’t tell because you let the cursing of your mouth produce blessings and cursings. Maybe dear loved one, you never spoke a foul word , but we still didn’t know which kingdom you belonged. Was there not a fire burning within, a passion to be like Jesus, a desire to see others saved? My dear friend, did you only cry out to Jesus when you were in trouble? What would compel you to keep mankind’s Hope, stronger and eternally lasting than any medical cure to yourself?
There is a grief without peace, when your destination was left unknown to those who cared and loved you on earth. Jesus hasn’t come back yet and that one year turns into two. Five years into ten. Forty into sixty. Double the grief , because although it breaks our hearts, there is a 50/50 chance that we may never see you again: forever separated. We don’t want to imagine the screams, the desperation as your cries reach the Lord’s ears when it’s too late. I can only imagine the pain and grief , the look of sadness as the Lord looks and says “Depart from Me. I never knew you.” You whom He fashioned with His own Hands, who the Father wanted to call you His Child. He had so much better, an eternal future for you, but it was your choice.
On God’s merciful chance and opportunity, that you did accept Jesus as Lord long before your deathbed, why was there no evidence? When someone dies when people are sure of their standing with the Lord, there is a peace that the Lord gives and sustains the grieving left behind . There is Hope that those know the Lord shall be reunited at Home. Whether in Heaven or the coming future New Earth, Home is wherever the Lord resides. Will we see you there? I wish you had told us, but now only God knows, until we cross the threshold in eternity….
To those who have breath, do you want this to be the heartbreaking reality your loved ones face? If not, then get to know Jesus and share Him with those you love. He promises that
Jeremiah 29:11-14a World English Bible
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says Yahweh, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. 12 You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You shall seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” says Yahweh,
You will find Him when you seek Him with all your heart.
He longs to speak with you, if you’d just take the time to listen and have a conversation with Him. Get to know what Jesus is like from God’s Word. You don’t have to wait for eternity. Stepping into eternity should be the continuation of the relationship, not the beginning with the exception of small babies/ or deathbed conversions.
Will you please tell us while you have breath if you are able? Eternity is too long, and life is many years for us to enter it, on the 50/ 50 percent chance that the Lord has to tell us after thirty, sixty years that you are not there with Him….
If you have a testimony of how our King, the King of Kings / Jesus redeemed you, please share it. I love hearing about what the Lord has done .
We are told in John 21:25
There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written.
You are a part of that other , because our God and King hasn’t stopped working in mankind’s lives. Share what our Heavenly Father has done!
