Immortal? I Don’t Think So.

I’ll be honest with you, this non-stop talk of 2012 and Jesus’ return is kinda driving me nuts. I wholeheartedly believe we should be living every day as if this could be our last day. Sure, it’s likely that you’ll live tomorrow. And it’s definitely possible that the year 2013 will come and the only thing that’s different is that you gained a few pounds. But how is it that people have been ignoring their own mortality until now? I mean come-on, we’ve all known for a very long time that one day we will die. We all know people that were living one day and weren’t the next. Most of us even know people that died unexpectedly. So why is it that “the end of the world” makes things more realistic?

Is it because a lot of people live day to day without realizing that a day just passed that they’ll never get back? Maybe even weeks stuck in a routine. Years fly by without a conscience thought of death being a possibility. Or have some people gotten to the point of actually thinking they’re immortal? Not in a superhero sense, but in a “living in my own world” sense.

Ya know what, it doesn’t REALLY matter the reason. What matters is that people need to wake up and realize that one day, whether it be in 3 years or in 50 years, we’re all going to leave this earth and face God and the reality of what we did during our life span. I’m not trying to scare anyone, if anything, I’m trying to set you free. Don’t be afraid of the future, just be aware of it. Live each day on purpose. Aware of what you’re doing and what you’re saying. Don’t waste time with things you aren’t supposed to be doing. Love a lot. Live a lot. Make a difference. And do everyone a favor (and please pass this on), stop talking about the world ending. You don’t know what’s going to happen. Instead, start speaking LIFE into people and encouraging them not to waste theirs. It’ll do more good.
