IF THIS BREATH WERE MY LAST

IF THIS BREATH ...
WERE MY ..........LAST.
(A personal interrogation with self)
Tyararr, are you living in your temporal dwelling with an eternal perspective? Did you know that you maybe only have the next few days, hours, minutes or seconds? How much have you thought about God in the past few hours. Are you so full of yourself and priorities that you cannot acknowledge Him who made you and gives you a reason to exist and function? Do you long for heaven, or do you shy away in thought hoping to fulfill all your desires and wishes here first?
Tyararr, are you living in your temporal dwelling with an eternal perspective? Have you paused to count the blessings God has given you, or have you pondered only on what you do not have? Are you truly trusting in an All-Knowing God for an unknowing future? Are you being real with yourself as you reflect on God's Word, or do you hide behind vague answers? Why won't you let go of that which you keep clinging to? It is only temporal.
Tyararr, are you living in your temporal dwelling with an eternal perspective? Did you think about the fact that your last breath could have been seconds ago? Are you living based off of past victories, or are you growing and living for today? Was your last encounter with a brother in Christ a positive one? As you write this, are you truly pondering it and pursuing to apply this mindset daily?
Tyararr, are you living in your temporal dwelling with an eternal perspective? What testimony will you leave behind? What kind of message is your life representing for Christ? Is Christ your all in all? Are you ready to face the situations or unknown trials that await you? Are you allowing yourself to be daily bridled by the Hand of God, or are you bucking against Him for your wants? Have you pondered clearly the thought that: HOW I VIEW GOD AND WHAT I BELIEVE ABOUT GOD WILL DETERMINE HOW I LIVE MY LIFE.
Tyararr, are you living in your temporal dwelling with an eternal perspecitve? If this breath were your.................
