Tuesday
morning a little after 7:00 am, a young man was shot dead on his way to school.
His mom did not know when he walked out the door that morning; she would never
see him alive again. I wonder what their last parting words were. Were they
positive? Words of love? Did he leave in anger or irritation with his mom? He
did not know that with every step he took out his door to reach school, he was
walking to his death.
Did you pray
this morning when you left the house? When you awoke this morning were you
praising the Lord? What were your parting words with your loved ones, or
roommate? That young man’s name is Marckel Norman Ross he
was 18yrs old. He
never knew that Tuesday was his last day taking that walk to school. I don’t
think of him as another face added to the youth dying in the DMV area. He was a
son, cousin, friend, brother. I drove past the very spot he died Tuesday
morning, wondering what was going on, what happened. I don’t know if he was
saved or knew the Lord. But I want to remind you, that you don’t want to leave
your computer screen at this very moment without giving your life to God. Often
time’s people think that “tomorrow isn’t promised to you” is just a Christian
cliché. But I beg to differ, it is very true. Jesus Loves You! Whatever your
circumstance, Whatever situation you may be facing in your life right now, it
is not too much for God to bear, give it to Jesus.
Just because we're young does not guarantee tomorrow, but when we live for God we are guaranteed everlasting life. Living every day for Jesus is well worth it.
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
Make
everyday A Day Of Faith.
