A Message from Death

Good morning, I say.  Another day has dawned for you; but not for everyone.  Most don't know the day I will come to snatch their life away.  Some have an idea, but never the exact day or moment.

Some of you are deathly afraid of me, (no pun intended, really.)  Some of you wish for me.  Some of you cause me to visit you early by taking your own life....which, by the way, was never the plan.

In a blink of an eye, I'm there.  When you least expect it.  I take someone you took for granted.  I take someone too young, you think.  But I always come, don't I?  There's no getting away from me, sad to say, but true.  None of you will make it out of here alive.  Either I will snatch your life, or Jesus will when He returns-IF you belong to Him.

Today is a significant day for you, Dawn, Terri and Tanya.  33 years ago I snatched up your dad's life in the blink of an eye.  One minute he was alive, laughing and having a good time-the next he was gone.  It can happen that quick.  I am that hasty.

But I come to tell you to not be afraid of me.  Be prepared for me.  I am inevitable, I promise you that.  You can't escape me here on Earth.  Know that I am coming for you and all those around you.  Do what you need to do now, don't wait.  Write out your wishes, prepare you wills, get things in order; you will be amazed what a blessing that is for your loved ones.  They are already distraught because of my untimely visit; they need not one more difficult task put upon them.

Got a bucket list?  Get to it!  Start doing all those things you wanted to do, aspired to accomplish or simply wanted to try for the first time.  You think I'm kidding when I say, "I am inevitable" but oh, I'm very serious about that.  In the blink of an eye, it might be you.  I don't tell you that to scare you, I tell you that to prepare you.

Need to forgive someone?  Go do it! Do not wait.  Every day is one day closer to your D-Day or theirs.  Say what you need to say before it's too late.  If you don't, I promise, you'll regret it.

Not certain of life after Me?  Read John 11:25-26-"Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life.  He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in Me will never die."

Live your life as if today may be your last.  It just might be.
