A little girl went to the movies with her grandfather the movie was so intriguing that after the movie she said "Granpa can we buy the sequel?" Her grandfather looked at her lovingly and stated "sweetheart there isn't a sequel"..
Which made me thnk about how we live.. Often times we are so caught up in the world enjoying life that we forget there won't be a sequel to our lives, and all we have is today.. Tomorrow isn't promised.. So being that there is no sequel what are you doing with your today? Did you spend time with God? Did you tell your loved ones you cared? Did you smile at the stranger passing by? Did you bother to just say "Thank You God"? We take so many things for granted. 1 Thesalonians 5:18 says "Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." So no matter what your going through at this very moment take some time and really go into a secret place and spend some quality time with God. We never know when we will take our last breath. Cherish every moment. Never live a life of stress and worry. God tells us not to worry in Matthew 6:25-34. The Bible should be a daily read not just something that looks good as an app on our phone, or center piece in our living room. God wants all of you, not the sloppy leftovers. What seems fun and exciting now, will it matter when you have to face God? I'm not saying don't enjoy life, but what I am saying is.. "What did you do with the time and talents God gave you?"
I love the song by Kirk Franklin called the Appeal. It puts life into perspective. So I will share a few lines of the song with you, and I charge you to really take head to the posed question.
