What if... Tomorrow never comes?

Maybe, the light of day isn't coming tomorrow. Maybe either one of us won't be feeling the sun's warm rays on our faces. What if... the whole world is turned upside down the moment the clock strikes 12?

One might argue that such a situation happens only in the movies. Or maybe to the unfortunate 1 in a million at the other end of the world. But what if? What if you were that 1? What would we all be doing? Would there be regrets? And then when we stand before God, at the end of the road. Then, what will we think? Will we plead with him? And what then? Will we plead for forgiveness? Plead for a 2nd chance? Plead for more time?

And why? What can time be used for? Time is so fleeting now. It blows past us so quickly, so swiftly, and yet, so gently. The things of this world, they can't be carried up with us when our time comes. The only thing we can bring with us is our experiences, those moments we shared, and the souls that we save. But you know... I've saved none. None.

What if... Today is our last day on Earth?

Perhaps you won that bargain. You have a day more. And you know it. What would you do? What would you say? How would you leave that legacy you always wanted to, only now, in the span of 24 hours. 24 short hours. No longer do you have those many years outstretched beyond the horizon. 24 hours. Just that.

What would you change? Or try to at least. What would be the things you say to those around you? Those oblivious to the precious seconds ticking away. What happens when you try your very best, but you still end up in the mud? What happens, when literally, all time has gone by, and you've failed? During those last moments. What would flash through your mind?

What if... You left this world, in this condition today. What if... you never got that 2nd chance to right the wrong? Or maybe you did, but didn't treasure it. What next?

There are so many things I wanna' say and do. But the words are jumbled and lost. And even when they do come out? They get trampled on. But... I know now.

I do not support the root, but the root supports me. ~ Romans 11:18

Let Your kingdom come on earth. Let Your will be done
Let every kingdom of this earth bow.

Let the sinners sing for joy, we are saved by grace
Let every saint break through these doors and shout

You’re calling out, “who will go?”

I will go. I will live the life.
I’ll give it all for Jesus Christ. I’ll tell the world that You are God.
I will go. Hear my battle cry.
Give me wings so I can fly and tell the world that You are God

Here am I, here am I, I will give all that is mine.
Here am I, here am I, Jesus come and spend my life.
