THREE SCARY SECONDS! WHAT IF IT WAS THE LAST?

It was a turbulent night. I was restless throughout. A lot of things had been going through my mind. I had flashbacks. All in three seconds, I thought it was over. It could have been. It was close. It was like a dream. May be more like a movie? I had talked about it. I had preached about such scenarios. I had heard other people’s experience and testimonies. Now I had to face it. It was this picture that I struggle to go to bed with. What if? I did not even know how to thank God. Just kept on saying," I am grateful" intermittently.
What if.........?

Finally, when the day broke, I dragged myself out of bed and found my way to the wedding I was travelling to before the incidence. It was a nice hall with a wonderful, great and calm ambience. Men and women were happy.  You could see that the couples were literally floating on top of the world. Who cares what I was going through? It was not that I was sad. However, I was in deep thought. Who really cares if someone has some issues going through his mind? There were a lot of green and blue colored schemed dresses – they bred peace. My mind keeps drifting in and out. I saw the old who had seen it all. I saw young people who are aspiring to the future. I understood what Jesus said when He said that when Rapture happens, people would be doing the typical things as they will be caught unawares. 

Mat 24:38-39 - In the days before the flood people ate and drank, men and women married, up to the very day Noah went into the boat; yet they did not realize what was happening until the flood came and swept them all away. That is how it will be when the Son of Man comes. (GNB)

How I wish the reality of the vanities of life will dawn on us more? In seating down there, I drifted in and out of the powerful sermon. He preached about sensitivity in marriage. I wonder if what they really need to be more sensitive about is eternity and if this was to be their last day on earth – will they be ready? I was now calm and reassured.
