1 Hour

I know this is a little late, but none the less, its worth the wait.

What would you do with your life if you knew you had exactly 1 hour until Jesus came back? Would you talk to certain people in your life to make sure or try to persuade them to be saved? Would you change anything about yourself? Who would you spend the time with? What would you do?

As my youth pastor asked me these questions tonight, it really got my brain flowing. If I had only 1 hour left on Earth, I know without a shout of a doubt that I have some family and friends to be calling. My best friends from high school have all taken a different route than me since graduation. I don't know that any of them are still on the right track with the path of God, and I blame myself for that knowing that I see a lot of them on a regular basis and I let it slip away every chace. Also, I would have some family that to talk to in this hour. My grandparents especially because I don't spend enough time with all of them to know where they are on their walk with God or if some of them even have a walk. As horrible as this sounds, won't you ask yourself, is there anyone in your life you feel may need some talking to if Jesus were coming back in an hour?

After these phone calls, I think its also important to think about those who you already know are saved also. One person tonight said they would instantly find the closest pastor and get married. As I thought about this to myself, I think that marriage is definitly something I want in the future, but if I knew that I only had 1 hour on Earth, I would rather enjoy the time with that girl just her and I counting down the last couple of minutes. As I thought about it more and more, the marriage just would not be important to me, I know the reason they suggested that was to be able to have sex and it not be sin, but I don't feel for myself that it would be that important to make sure and cross sex off my list of things to do before I die rather than just spending the last few minutes with them.

So all in all, I've been in a lot of thought lately about how I'm living my life. Aside from us spending time with that one special person in our lives, are we spending our time wisely? Are there people in your life you care enough about to make sure they are on the right track to heaven? I've found that through this question I have a lot of work to do and a LOT of important people in my life that I want to know are going to take part in the same reward I am going to take part in after life on Earth. Please take this to heart and talk to those people in your life as I am going to do because you never know, that last hour may have already started ticking down.
