Today could be the last day of your life

We spent the afternoon at one of the country’s best beaches a while back, Tawharanui out from Warkworth, with our adopted Samoan family. Surf and water was amazing.

As we left we were stopped by flashing lights as we approached an accident that had obviously happened a few minutes earlier. The car was upside down, seriously munted. The ambulance, cops and bystanders were trying to get a body that had been flung from the car, up and into the ambulance. He looked dead, not certain. What was certain was that he had been thrown out of the car, no seatbelt, and given the seriousness of the accident and where it occurred, he was probably drunk or stoned.

So in an instant this young mans life was probably over.

Reminds me of my brother. 19 years old, went to Waiouru to do military training. 3 days later, dead. You just never know, do you? My brother was a Christian and knew he would go straight to Heaven, so he had no need to fear death. But what about you? Maybe you kind of believe. When you are with me you act like a Christian because that helps you fit in. But what if you died, in the next 30 seconds. Do you know where you would wake up? Do you know whather your life had really been lived with integrity and passion? Not the integrity where you say one thing but actually your life is a mess. Where you say you believe in win ~win but treat others like crap. Where you say honesty is important but you cheat on your tax returns.
No I mean deep down inside your spirit, is your life how you want it to be?

How many dreams have you not fulfilled?
How many regrets would you have if your life ended tonight?
How much sadness would you have to wake up in heaven or hell and know that it was too late to do anything about it?

You will only have one shot at life. A failed brake line, a drunk driver, a weak walled vein could end any of us in the next 15 minutes.

So how important is it to live every moment to the full, to pursue your dreams, your creator and to love your life.

It’s up to you. Sadly 99% of us wil read this and think wow I must do something about my life,and change nothing.
So the 1% or the 99, which will you be tonight, tomorrow??
