Galatians 5:6 (King James Version)

6For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.


To my brothers and sisters in Christ

A parable...

A young lady who was given no more than a week to live lay in bed with illness waiting for her time. She never heard or read scripture and new not God. Her father the king called for the preachers,teachers and all those who walk with God. For he was concerned for her after life. The king told 2 men and 1 woman to share one verse in the bible and to share about its meaning to his daughter.

The first man was good about keeping the sabbath so the verse he shared was as follows

Deuteronomy 5:12 (New Living Translation)
12 “Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the Lord your God has commanded you.

Then the man proceeded to explain what the sabbath was and the evils of not keeping it.

The second man had prior engagement with some men who some what walked with God but did not walk as the man walk, he was to speak to them the correct way to walk. So this man did not come to talk with the girl. He said he would be glad to the next morning though.

The woman spent much time in prayer asking her heavenly Father to give her the message that the young lady needed at this time in her short life.

She went to the young lady and spent much time with her. She ask her questions about her life growing up. The elder lady spent much time just listening and getting to know the young lady. The elder lady also shared about her own life. The young lady listened to the elder for the elder truly and clearly cared for her well being.

Durning her stay she opened up the Holy Bible and read

John 3:16 (NIV)

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life

She shared with the young lady the life of Jesus. The birth, death and what he did on the the cross for our sins and the resurrection. When she was through she began to pray with and for the young lady and asking for the holy spirit to move within the young ladies heart. Then she gave her the bible and said now get to know God and His love for you. Then she left. The very next morning the young lady went on to be with the Lord.

What scripture, what would you share?? Remember today could be the last for those who pass you by. What will you spend most of your time sharing and with whom??

May we not only live as though it is our last but live for others as though it is their last.
