~BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE~


Hi.............
There are people in our lives who we love so...dearly and yet hardly let them know we care.
There are lovedones and friends we interact with on daily bases and who mean so much to us, but they still do not know Jesus Christ our Lord as their Savior.
If Abba Father gave us His all, it's because He loved us soo much.
If Christ died for us it's because He loved us.
Let's not just give our best to people we love and care about but tell them about "THE ONLY WAY"
JOHN 14:6
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life.
 No one comes to the Father except through me.
We need to witness to our unsaved loved ones- our kids, parents, spouse, friends, our brothers and sisters- as they are special not just to us but to a God who loves them more than us.
Psalm 78:  4 We will not hide them from their
children;we will tell the next generation 
       the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD,

       his power, and the wonders he has done.
 5 He decreed statutes for Jacob 
and established the law in Israel, 
       which he commanded our forefathers 

       to teach their children,
 6 so the next generation would know them, 
 even the children yet to be born,
       and they in turn would tell their children.
We need to talk about our Lord, His saving grace, His goodness often.
Psalm 71 15 My mouth will tell of your righteousness, 
 of your salvation all day long, 
       though I know not its measure.
 16 I will come and proclaim your mighty acts,O
Sovereign LORD; 
       I will proclaim your righteousness, yours alone.
 17 Since my youth, O God, you have taught me, 
and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.
Here's something I read long back during my college days and have always treasured it for it blessed me and is a valuable reminder even today.
So before it's too late, loved ones and friends not just how much we love and care for them but make sure they know our Savior.
Read and be blessed.
YSIC,

   BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
If you have a tender message or a loving word to say,
Do not wait till you forget it, wisper it today,
The tender word unspoken,
The letter never sent,
The long forgotten messages,
 The wealth of love unspent,
For these some hearts are breaking.
For these some loved ones cry.
So show them you care for them before it's too late.

Don't strew me with roses after I'm dead.
When Death claims the light of my brow
No flowers of life will cheer me; instead
You may give me my roses now!
