“A friend loveth at all times…” Proverbs 17:17a
My life is blessed with so many wonderful friends. Many of them I have known since I have lived in California, while others are new friends whom I have known only since I have moved to Georgia. Some I know only from social media, but regardless of how we have met, we are friends, and I am there for any one of them if they should need me.
I also have an awesome family, and I love each member with all my heart. We have shared so much, and no matter how far apart we are, the bonds of love remain strong. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for any one of them.
With that in mind, I have a question for you: If you knew one of your cherished friends or family members was going to die today in a way you could prevent, what would you do to save them? How far would you go to help them? Wouldn’t you do whatever you could? These are the ones you love; the ones for whom you care deeply.
Life is unpredictable. No one knows if their tomorrow will ever come, so today, because I love you, I am asking my family and friends this: If you were to die before tomorrow, what would happen to you? Have you thought about it? Most people don’t like to think about death, especially their own, but we all think about it from time to time. Do you know where you would be if you should die today? Do you have an answer, or would you have to say, “I don’t know”?
If you’d like to know, I’m here for you.
“For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth.” Psalm 71:5
