Today: A Gift from God

Do you really believe that today is a "Gift from God"? As followers of Christ we say that, but do we REALLY believe it? And do we ACT as if we believe it?

There is a man I work with named Marcus. He frequently says "This is a day we have never seen before AND a day we will never see again!" Read that again: "This is a day we have never seen before AND a day we will never see again!"

As I write this on Wednesday, April 20, 2011 - I have to come to the realization that this is the ONLY April 20, 2011 that I will ever experience. It is a unique day that will never be repeated again. I only have one chance to live his day for the Glory of God. I only have one chance to be obedient to the things He tells me to do today.

My challenge to myself AND to you is this: Live like you believe this day is a GIFT from God, remembering that it is the only one you will get in your lifetime!
