One Month
Our pastor has started a new series at church called “If You Only Had One Month to Live.” Not a new topic, of course, and I will readily admit that I wasn’t excited about it at first. But hey, when you really start thinking about it, you can’t help but REALLY start thinking about it.
This question can help focus what is important and what is dross. I know in my head that what we should really worry about if we only have a short time to live is how much of God’s work we can do around us. We should try to spread the gospel, we should try to show love to our neighbors and enemies and we should probably even try to examine ourselves and solidify our own faith. But I would venture to say that most people would choose something more selfish. Like so many people on the video we watched, I think I would go for time with family. I would love to think that I would go do some important work for the Lord, but I am afraid that even faced with a short time to live I would continue to be selfish!
Any takers to say what they would do with One Month?
Its an interesting question because if I was honest I think my answer to the question of, “What would you do with my last month on earth?” would be mostly selfish and not selfless.
I would want to visit my family and friends, and I think lastly I would want to devote my time to God or serving others.
