In a discussion I had recently,(today actually) I asked my conversee what they would do if they had 10 minutes left to live. They had no response and only replied with "You go first".
What a question. Usually I think things like this are a bit cheesy and just stupidly pointless. My mind thought otherwise this time. I raced around my brain to decide on answers. I stated I would hug my mom, call my best friend what was curious to me though, was that the first thing I remember saying was "I'd write"
Woah what? 10 minutes left to live and I want to write things down? I explained that when I was a bit younger I probably wouldn't have said something quite like this, I would have taken a more frivolous route. Thank G-d, and I do mean Him: I said write.
Really though what would I write? If I had 10 minutes to live I must think there is some sort of power in words. Words written down have the power of life and death much like the tongue has. See Prov 18:21
Spending my last few minutes of life writing, knowing I think they have some sort of power shows, there must be some sort of words, a gift of wisdom, or power, or knowledge, or really anything must be inside of this writing.
The things I thought of writing were to all my closest friends letting them know what happened. (which in this context I have no idea what that was) I also considered writing to any reader, letting them know about Yeshua, of His love and ultimate forgiveness, assuring them I could some day meet them if they fell in love with Him also.
I'm grateful I have more than 10 minutes left to live. I pray I use the time I have beyond these 10 minutes to do great things. I pray that God uses me every second and every minute here spending all of my time on Him, for Him, for the one day I will be with Him.
A woman once prophesied over me, that I would write things that would break sin, and the chains of the enemy off of His children. Many times have I forgotten of this blessing, I pray it happen no more. No one can hinder me, I am His hand.
Do not forsake your talents friends, do not forget what God has given you, use your gifts. We are the body, and if one of our gifts is used wrongly, poorly, out of God's character or not used, we won't be working as effectively as we could be. And God WILL replace you if you are lax. (Luke 19:40 cry out!)
Bless you friend.
