Time flies by so quickly. Another year is gone forever. That time can never be regained. I'm reminded of what Nate Saint said many years ago, "People who do not know the Lord ask why in the world we waste our lives as missionaries. They forget that they too are expending their lives ... and when the bubble has burst, they will have nothing of eternal significance to show for the years they have wasted." I have to sit and ask myself, have I, too, wasted another year on myself? Have I spent my year living for God, or for self?

I was talking with Dennis last night, and he was saying that most girls my age don't care about evangelism. They think it's no fun, a waste of time. Sadly, that's true. It's so easy to ignore the fact that 150,000 people will die today. 150,000! Just think about that for a minute. So many people dying. Even if 75% of those people went to heaven, that still 37,500 people dying without the Lord every day! Sadly, no where near 75% of those who die end up in heaven. It would be my guess that well over 100,000 people die every day without having a relationship with Jesus Christ! That is just so heart-breaking, and yet so many times we sit and try to ignore that fact. We waste our time here and now, enjoying life, while millions out there are dying without hope. We can't change the world. We can't even make other Christians care, but we can change ourselves. We can make sure that we take the time to share the gospel with those we meet.

I love the story of the man on George Street. He shared the gospel every day for about 40 years, without seeing one single person accept Christ, yet he continued to share the gospel. A few weeks before he died, he found out that many people had accepted Christ because of his witness, and they were missionaries, pastors, chaplains, all leading many people to Christ, because of his simple witness. We may be rejected, but God can use that witness, anyway. Besides, it's not our job to save people, it's simply our job to tell them Christ's message. I didn't mean to go on about this so long, but that's what I was thinking about this morning. :)
