24 hours to live......

If I only have 24 more hours to live, what would I do. This is put to a challenge sort of today at church. But I want to acually write it out.
First of all. I would see my parents, I would look into my parents eyes and tell them how much they have done for me, how much they mean to me. and How much I love them, and that I wouldn't of wanted any other parents, I would of taken them on the streets over a parent who's rich and I never get to see. My parents raised me... and I am grateful more than anything for that one thing. I know both my parents, I respect both of them, and I am best friends with both of them. I know there is NOTHING I could do to make them not love me or accept me. I know that I can tell them anything..... and that they will help me, even when I don't want them to. I have a mom and a dad. not a mother and father. I love my parents so much, they don't even know how much. Mom: I have enjoyed the many many nights of our talking late and gossiping. I am glad you are a MOM and a FRIEND.... You love me unconditionally. and for that THANK YOU. I love you so much. You have done so many amazing things for me. and there is nothing I would change about you. I love you.
Dad: I love you. As I have said If I can find a man to marry that is half the man you are I will be so lucky. You are the one man that has given me hope of a decent guy for me. I love our photography time together and I love everything about you. You are my hero daddy. and I am glad you are always there to help me. and "bail" me out. I love you so daddy. thank you for being a dad not just a father.... I couldn't of had a better dad, or mom. thank you for that. Thank you for being my "buddy" my "pal" and my best friend dad. I love you for everything you do, you love me unconditionally. thank you.

second: I would tell my sister how much I love her. I would look at her, and tell her she is my best friend, even when we don't get along. I would tell her: " I don't know where you stand with Christ, but Please, accept Him, follow Him, read His word, Love HIM, worship Him. The things here on earth are fun, but look at the big picture. Eternal life my sister, eternal life is what I want you to have. I want you to KNOW JESUS CHRIST. He wants you, He loves you. If I could have one thing from you, is for you to devote your life to Christ. For you to really know to love Him to know Him. It is the most fullfilling thing on earth. You feel lost sometimes, and I know that, I know you feel alone, you tell me so. With Christ, Him in you heart, which He is knocking on. You will NEVER be alone. You will gain a family much greater than what you see with your eyes. To follow Christ, is the most amazing feeling, Once following Him, His will, He will lead you to the place you want but just don't know it yet. He has a man for you, one that won't hit you, won't abuse you emotionally, one that will be trustworthy, and loyal and loving. A Christian man. If I could pick ONE man for you, it would be a Christian man. But to be with that man that I see for you, you have to have Christ, you have to WANT Christ, and want that man. You have to long and pine for the love of Christ.
It is really simple my sister. If you beleive that Christ is real, which I beleive you do. It is not to only beleive He exist, but to want Him, to long to serve Him, to devote yourself to Him. No that doesn't mean you will be perfect. None of us are.... no one can be. You will fail. And you can still have fun. But the beauty of it.... the awsomeness of it. Is that when you fail, when you make stupid mistakes, all He does is wrap His love around you. and Forgive you. He will give you Peace, Love, Hope, Mercy, Grace. Wow Grace.... special grace. It is amazing my sister. Things you can only feel. Things you cannot describe on this earth. Once you have this.... once you ask God to forgive you, to love you, to have mercy on you. You repent, you admit, that you NEED Him, that You can't do it alone, that you don't want to do it alone, that you want His love, You say I beleive in you Lord Jesus Christ, I love you, Forgive me for I have sinned, forgive me for I will sin, Love me Lord, I am your servent Lord, I love you, have mercy on me, and guide me. I accept You in my Heart Lord.
Once you have done this..... and really truely mean it..... your life is changed. You will stand before the King one day as HIS child. His love will make you clean, His blood, spilled on the cross, will flush away ever thing bad. and this my sister....... this is the best feeling in the world, the most intimate feeling. You will not be alone, even if you feel it. Christ will watch over you. He does now even if you don't want Him to. My sister, I love you, and I wish one thing for you. I wish for your heart to be opened, opened by the Holy Spirit. I wish you to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord, and for you to Follow Him. This..... for THIS I would give up all earthly things. I would give my human life for you to gain a spiritual eternal life with Christ. If I could only do this I would. I would give it up without a second thought. There is nothing on this earth that someone could give me, take from me to make me not give up everything for your eternal life. But our God doesn't work that way. The only thing I can do is tell you this. Tell you that Eternity is coming SOON, that your time is running out..... that soon..... SOON our King will come, Or He will take your life...... before you have found Him my sister. and That.... if these two days come without your eternal life bought.... bought by your love and asking Him to enter your heart. Without that my sister... my best friend... I am afraid for you. I am afraid of your judgement day sister. I want you in Heaven. I long for you to spend eternity with me. With our Lord. Sister, If I could tell you anything. and for you to take it. I would tell you to RIGHT NOW right this SECOND. truely beleive in Christ our Lord. Beleive in His love and mercy and grace. Beleive in all His forgiveness. and Sister, Ask HIM, Tell Him you love Him. Tell Him you need Him, Ask Him for forgiveness, ask for His mercy and grace. and Sister... it WILL be given. His love will surround you and your spiritual eternal life will be safe. After this: read His word, seek out a church, NOT because it is "required" but because your spiritual being will grow in this church. Because the fellowship and love in a Church is God's love. A church is not a "task" it is a home. It should be a place where their only concern is Biblical truth. This church will become a home, a safe haven from the world. This church will be a family. and it can feel like a family so much. Be more than just a "sunday" going church person. Be active and know the people in the church. This will create a love setting of a family that is indescribable. These things sister, I want you to have I long for you to feel and become. You are independent. that is okay...... but why? why not rely on a family.... a family bigger then mom dad and me.... it's okay. and infact it is amazing. Yes you can do it alone....... but than my sister....... you'll be alone. I love you..... and the feeling of Christ, the love you receive, from Him, from His children..... it's something that NOTHING, NO ONE on this EARTH can replace. I've never been happier since really following Christ...... and it's amazing. I want this for you. I want you to be Happy. But more than anything in the whole world. I want you to be saved! I want you to feel what I feel. I want you to accept Christ into you heart! and Sister...... It's free. Your eternal life is free and effortless. In fact I think it makes everything EASIER. Better. Happier. I will pray for you sister. I pray that you see this, feel this, and I pray you pray. I pray that you will allow Christ to enter your heart. He's knocking sister.... He's asking..... you just don't know it.
I will leave you with this. I love you, Christ Love's you. If there was not another thing I could say to you it is If you accept Christ and follow Him, you will not regret. You will see me in heaven sister..... our eternal spirits together. This is my hope, my prayer.

Third, I would tell all my friend How much they have been angels sent to me, how much their guidence has been God sent. They have helped me in SO manyways I cannot even fathom.

My brothers and sisters in Christ: Thank you. Thank you SO much for the things you've done big and small on this earth. It's beyond what I could of imagined. Showing me Christ's love...... Nothing could make me thank you enough for your guidence and love. Amazing love. You, all of you are walking Angels. All of you have made a deep impact on my life. I thank you, and I will see you out of this fleshy body with our King. and That day..... that day my brothers and sisters. A great and glourious day! Pray for that day, It is near! I love you all. Worship our Lord, Follow Him close..... He is coming, and soon my brothers and sisters.

I would pray to my Lord: that He has mercy on me, that He loves me, that He will grant me mercy and grace as I stand before Him. I will thank Him for His amazing power and love. His glourious home and mercy and grace that is beyond beleif. Thank you Lord, Jesus Christ. Thank you for dying on the cross. for being tortured for me, for my sins. You took my place and spilt Your own blood so I could stand before the Father as clean and pure. Which I am anything but...... Thank you Jesus, Thank you my Lord, thank you my Savior, my Messiah, my All in All. Thank you Christ!
