She recently had a heartfelt
conversation with one of her relatives. She gently reminded her that they were
getting older and that many members of their family had already passed away.
"One day, it will be our turn," she said. "Tomorrow isn't
promised."
She encouraged her relative to
forgive someone who had deeply hurt her. Her relative replied, "I have
forgiven that person, but even though I've forgiven them, I still need time to
get over the hurt."
The woman acknowledged her pain
but lovingly responded, "Healing may take time, but we can't put off being
right with God. None of us knows if we'll have tomorrow."
That conversation became an
opportunity to share the hope of the gospel and the importance of turning to Christ
today, while there is still time.
The Bible says, “yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes" (James 4:14) and
"Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of
salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2).
