On the way to the office today, a song was playing on the radio that has stayed with me. The song is by Kris Allen titled, Live Like We’re Dying. Not to be confused with Tim McGraw’s song, Live Like You Are Dying – both songs have much of the same emphasis of making the most of our time on earth. If you knew you had only 3 days to live, would it change you the way you live right now?
What caught my ear is the chorus of Kris’s song. The words remind us that we only have 86,400 seconds in each day to turn the world around or to throw it all away. It’s our choice. Kris urges us to tell people that we love them and make a difference in the world around us while we have the chance.
The point is this: we should live each day as if we were on the verge of death.
So here is my challenge for you: What are you going to do, today, with your 86,400 seconds of life God has given you. Will you be selfish or will you spend some of those seconds showing God’s hope and love – making the world a better place?
Live like you are dying!
