You May Not Finish Reading This...

You may not finish reading this and I may not finish writing it. I say those two things because not a single one of us are promised our next breath. You could be on your last week and don't even know it. If I knew this were my last week - I'd surely want to live it with more urgency to tell others about Jesus. Since I don't know when I'll die, I need to be doing all I can to live like I and others could die at any given moment.

I'm writing this for one of three reasons:
1: I pray that your heart is seriously broken for those who don't know Jesus.
2: It breaks my heart to know that some of my friends and family are headed for an eternity apart from God.
3: This certain video on YouTube really got me.. I'll post it below. Please, watch it in it's entirety.


Did you catch that? You just never know when you could die. I myself am not scared of dying, I'm heartbroken that some of my friends and family aren't ready. I know it's not my job to make them or anyone else listen to the truth. It's my job to share the truth and let God do the rest.
Of course I've talked to friends and what was said was completely rejected. I've been cussed at and told to shut up before - but that won't stop me. This message of Jesus is to great to let man keep me quiet over. I'd rather die than be quiet about Jesus. He loves them. And I want to love them the way He loves them. Unconditionally. That's tough since He's perfect, and I'm far from it. But I'm still learning.

(( I don't know how I'm going to finish this - I'm pretty tired, but I refuse to go to bed till I'm finished. (: ))

I feel like I should say that although I've been getting distracted by life for awhile, that God has really gotten my attention to really gain an urgency for telling others about Jesus. Although I know it's going to be challenging for this shy teenager in many ways, but I'm not worried about that. I just know that people need Jesus desperately, and we need to tell them about Him no matter the cost. Sure we may encounter some risky awkward moments - but here's the deal, it takes risking it all to share your faith. You may lose your popularity, you may even lose some friends. Are you willing to risk it all? And if you are, I believe that there is a payoff of seeing God work in and through you to do something great in the life of someone else.

People need Jesus. And if you need your heart broken for them, pray for God to break your heart and you could also go to a mall and imagine a "Bound For Hell" sign on their forehead.. Because without God, that's where they're going... Hell. For eternity. There are no second chances after you die. So don't waste your life. Make a choice today to not waste your life any longer. This is eternity we're talking about.. Heaven.(Eternity with Jesus, No crying, death, mourning, pain, There's joy, love, peace, goodness, kindness, mercy, grace, perfection.. etc) Hell. (Eternity separated from God. Weeping, hopelessness, no love, no joy, no peace, no perfection..etc)

I'd type out the Gospel - but I'm tired enough already.. This video tells it quite well (:
