Unique individuals who really matter will come, will stay awhile perhaps, and will then go today. How will you respond?


"See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil." See Ephesians 5:14-19

Pretty ..often while you're at work, or when studying in school, or just passively hangin' out.. friends drop by. You weren't out lookin' for em per se but they stopped to say hi. You, me, many have em.. it's just normal. We visit longer with some, we hear, we ask, we pause, we catch up, we see new friends and even meet others through the course of our day ..through the course of our evening. 

And you too ..might do some active entering and exitin' of someone else's day as you're runnin' errands etc. Why not? I do this on purpose and wanna bless ..somehow. Who doesn't? 

Every day of your life that passes on by is like a social adventure per se, as well as another type of adventure if you're curious n on the go. Daily, so daily, day in and day out.. I'm no poet, but it's a period of time that you'll never be able to retrieve back again ..duh.. so So SO quickly gone..today. It's ja vergangenheit, hovijest, history, the past! Therefore be sure not to love the temporal things of this world. They don't last that's why they're temporal.. or choose to go waste one moment of your precious day cuz precious people are in it. Make your encourters count. Make em good and meaningful and uplifting. Instead of living out on the take, live on the give. Look, seek ta, think.. to add lasting value with solid Scriptural truth, with interested ears, with prayers that care, and a pure love inside.

Talk to, obey, pour out your heart, listen well to, think about and relate to your first-love - Jesus Christ. 
How many persons have been so 100% consistent, and really earned the right to be trusted by you? Every promise of God proves true; He always does what He says and protects everyone who runs to Him for help. Second-guessing Him—that'd be dumb. Why do it?

When you look back over the years at how good He has been to you, at what He's kept you from and not allowed you to miss... at the Cross, the empty tomb and all that He's given you, how can ya not help but want this super great Friend ..who sticks closer than a brother ..for all those you care about? Go live it and go tell. The Bible says...

"Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken." —Joshua 21:45

"He provides, guides and leadeth me! What a wonderful thought! And what a blessed work that's He's wrought. So glad that He sought. O the words with heavenly comfort fraught!" ~ Anon.

The Jesus we see in the Bible is the only way in. "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12
People will come, people will go.. and some don't return to visit you again.. cuz unexpectedly some just pass at an age that seems too young. I don't wish that for anyone early. Some go to heaven, some foolishing, ignorantly, rebelliously choose hell (I can't know what's in their hearts)..some even by not choosing at all. None end up in a third or fourth location. Will you be ready for them, believer - how will you respond? Will you be ready when your best Friend returns? You can be.
