If Today Was Your Last

How would you be remembered?

If Today Was Your Last

What if today was your last? What if you didn’t wake up in the morning or got into a car wreck on the way home from work? How would you be remembering here on Earth? Did you have a servant’s heart or did you only care about yourself? Your time on Earth is just a blip on the radar and your time beyond that is eternal. Where will you spend your time after Earth?

The Earth has been around for roughly 4.5 billion years and the average life expectancy of a human is 71 years. So, in reality, your life isn’t long at all and you will be forgotten about 50 years after your death. That doesn’t mean that what you left on Earth will be forgotten.

Jesus calls us to be disciples for Him. When you bring others to Christ, you are leaving your mark on this world forever. The people of this world will not know this, but God will, and that is all that really matters. When you bring someone to Christ, they will go and tell of His word to lead others to the Father as well.

This is also true with your actions. Everything you do on this Earth, so turn around and give glory to God. Have you ever done anything good without expecting a reward in return? The best deeds are done when no one is watching, when there is nobody there to pat you on the back and say, “good job”; these are the things that are truly done with a servant’s heart!

So, if today was your last, would you leave your mark on it? Did you have a servant’s heart? Did you disciple others and bring them to the Father? When people look at you, is there something different? Look at your life and ask yourself if this is the life you want to be living. If not, change it! It honestly is that easy. You should change because you never know if it will be your last day on Earth.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
