Hello everyone and welcome to my blog today. Read and be blessed like you always do.
A man died when he realized it, he saw an old man coming closer with a suitcase in His hand. The following conversation ensued between them
God: Alright son, it's time to go.
SUprised, the man responded; Now? So soon? I had a lot of plans.....
God: I'm sorry but it's time to go.
Man: What do you have in that suitcase?
God: Your belongings.
Man: My belongings? You mean my things, my clothes, my money?
God: Those things were not yours, they belonged to the earth.
Man: is it my memories?
God: Those never belonged to you; they belonged to Time.
Man: is it my talents?
God: Those were never yours; they belonged to the circumstances of your life.
Man: Is it my friends and family?
God: I'm sorry, they were never yours. They belonged to the path.
Man: Is it my wife and children?
God: They were never yours; they belonged to your heart.
Man: Is it my body?
God: That was never yours; it belonged to the dust.
Man: Is it my soul?
God: No!, that is mine. The devil can have it too.
Full of fear, the man took the suitcase from God and opened it..........just to find out that the suitcase was empty.
With a tear coming down his cheek, the man said:
Man: I never had anything???
God: That is correct. Every moment you lived were the only belongings you had. You gaoned everything in life but i can't find your soul(you lost it).
This is a great lesson. Life is just a moment - a moment that belongs to only you. For this reason, enjoy your time and use it wisely while you have it. Don't let any material thing that you think you own or that you are strugglimg to acquire stop you from doing so. Live now! Live your life in accordance to the will of God. Don't forget to be happy. Material things and everything else that you fought for stays here. Your primary duty is to serve and worship your creator(Eccl 12). YOU CAN'T TAKE ANYTHING AWAY from this earth.
OH! Live for God and at the end, YOU WILL LIVE WITH HIM.
What shall it profit a man who gains the whole world and loses his soul.
What shall it profit a man who lost inheritance.
Say this prayer with me.: O lord, help me to live every moment of my life to the fullest for you. Come into my life today. I can't help myself.
My appreciation goes to the following people.
Not to forget his leading apostles;
SHALOM!
