I'm pretty sure God spoke to me today. I was listening to the good old hymn, "Nearer my God, to Thee" and could not resist playing it on my viola. But I found it hard to play because I could not get past the first few measures without tearing up.
I've been thinking alot lately, especially with my apparent back sliding and "behind schedules" for my bible study homework, church going and serving activities.
I went for my bible study class last Thursday after a pretty long hiatus and I was getting alot of the "I haven't seen you in donkey years" type of "greetings from a couple of friends, so that's give you some background on what I'm talking about.
Anyways.
Last Thursday's lesson talked about.. well, I can't remember what exactly, but my key takeaway for the night was the fact that every single thing that we say or do now as we are alive has got direct impact on eternity when we die.
In other words, the day will come when we see Him face to face and how we have lived our lives on earth will have an impact on our reward in heaven.
To be honest, I do sometimes feel as if I can't see the relevance to what is to happen when we pass on, and I sometimes do wonder what if life after death do not entice me all that much? I do, I seriously do. But today, I think I had a glimpse of what a life with Him for eternity could mean.
And that was all it took to make me realize that I do want Him, and am not willing to wait till after a lifetime of folly and have everything make sense when that day comes only to realize its all too late.
I can't really explain what exactly happened, but I could not stop crying, and kinda felt a renewed desire to take up my cross and follow Him, to prepare myself for the day of the marriage of the Lamb.
I have long heard many people saying that the end is near, but didn't think much of it until now when I take a look at the things going on around me. Don't even think about the end time, for who is to know if we will still be around tomorrow.
