i feel like crying.. the offering man that used to come and count attendance for YD passed away 2 days ago ): i just feel so sad that life is so short! and that you really never know when you will be taken home to be with the Lord. I didnt really know him, but i wished that i would have at least talked to him... he wasn't a very prominent person in church, but he faithfully served the Lord week after week. i wonder if anyone actually acknowledged him.. ):
thinking about this reminds me of uncle sunny, who is also home with the Lord... he passed away at a time that was really unexpected.. and it was so much more heartbreaking because he was someone that i didnt make the effort to keep in contact with ): i regret it so much, yet when i reflect on my current relationships, i wonder if it is even possible not to regret at all?
and just 2 weeks ago, i was really overcome with sadness just thinking about the number of people who come to church regularly as pew warmers, but they never really accepted Jesus as Saviour of their soul. my heart breaks when i remember Matthew 7:21-23:
"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name? And then I will declare to them, 'I never know you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'"
may we work out our salvation with fear and trembling! even though life is short, it is not a waste of time because it is eternity that we are facing! may God impress this on their hearts ):
