Are You Ready To Die?

Having ADHD ... one thing I often struggle with is forgetfulness.
I don't know about you, but I tend to "forget" the big picture of my life frequently in the chaos,the clutter and the responsibilities of my day to day life.

After going through some hard times recently (some bumps in the road of life :) you can say), I was led to one of my favorite chapters in the bible ... Ecclesiastes chapter 3.
It begins off with a little something like this ...
"There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven; A time to be born and a time to die ..."

And reading this verse it made me think ...That I should live joyfully and with my purpose in mind, but also that "today is just one less day that I will spend on earth and one day closer to the moment I will die and move on into eternity with God".

So here's a questions you won't get everyday ... How do you view death?
Is it something you don't like to think about or talk about? Is death something worth rejoicing about or do you dread it with intense grief, sorrow, and uncertainty? Do you ever think about death? Do you think about death only when someone dies or do you embrace it as an inevitable moment in your life?

Are you prepared to die ... is for better words ... what I am leading up to!
Many people would say no. Many people fear death. Many people don't want to think about death, let alone talk about it. Death is something we all just like to "forget".
We often lie to ourselves ... by extending the days we will live (in our minds) and by pushing off death to somewhere far far down the road.
But really there is no truth in that! The only truth you can hold is that the moment you were brought into this world ... the clock started its count down. The count down ... you might ask? Yes ... the countdown to chapter 1 of the great story ... death on earth ... and the beginning of eternal life beyond 3 dimensions.
Everyone who lives will also die, but everyone will also live eternally. Yet, Sadly ... not everyone will be with God ... for some will "choose" to live in eternity "separated" from God.

So the next question is: Do you want in or Do you want out?
In Heaven ---with God
OR
In Hell -- Separated from God.
There is nothing intellectual about this question. It doesn't have to be measured or proven logical. It is what it is. It's like "love". It's like choice. Scientifically, intellectually, yada yada ... it doesn't need to be measured or assessed beyond your own understanding of the question.
If you could "choose" one ... which one would you "choose" and why?
There is no in between ... its one way or the other ... its Day or Night ... its Life or Death.
What did you choose?

So back on this topic of "death". If you could know the amount of time you had left ... would you really want to know? Would you live life any differently than you are living today. I wonder how differently you would see yourself, see your life, and see your time remaining before "the big day".

I've probably shared with you my treasures ... but I wonder what are the treasures of your own heart?
My treasures are -- Jesus, Love, and Family.
My heart and my life are invested in those three treasures. It directs How I live, the decisions I make, my priorities, and everything about me.

I am a man on a mission for Love, for God, and for others -- because of Jesus Christ.
This is my mission ... my calling ... while I am still alive.
It is to share with others the only way to heaven, the only hope of salvation, and the only life that is eternally "with God".
My life is not about achievements. My life is not about climbing the latter of a particular corporate structure. My life is not about "getting money, making money, or spending money". I don't care what I look like in the eyes of others or whether I'm pleasing everyone. My life isn't necessarily about "arriving" to a place in my life that completes the desires and dreams I hold within my heart.

My life is about Love ... My life is God's ... My life is to serve Jesus and share with others the only decision that will matter in their entire life ...

will they accept Jesus or reject Jesus ... as the Son of God ... their forgiveness of sins ... their salvation ... but in lamen terms ... their way to heaven.
I believe in what you will read below ... about what Jesus said the way to heaven is. If I didn't believe what He said ... then he is just another liar, a big fraud, and a fake that has produced a false hope for everyone. But I don't believe that.

I'm ready to die ... for I know that when I die ... I will go to heaven ... Not because of anything I did or because I'm a "good person and I deserve it" ... but because I place my "HOPE" and my "FAITH" in Jesus Christ for my salvation.
I will be going to heaven because of what Jesus did ... not what Drew did in this life. Therefore ... I'm free from the burdens and demands of meeting benchmarks and expectations our world places on us from the moment we are born. Will I work hard? Yes. Doe that mean I can do anything I want and live completely evil? No. But what it does mean is that I'm free to live a life filled with joy, peace, love, faith, trust and most importanly HOPE because Jesus Christ rose from the dead and is a living God ... living with me ... helping me every step of the day..

Do you have your ticket to heaven? Are you ready to die? How much time do you have left?
Where will you stand?

Jesus Said ... Before His Death on the Cross to His Disciples ... John 14:1-6
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God[a]; trust also in me. 2In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4You know the way to the place where I am going."
5Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"
6Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."
