1 WEEK TO LIVE.

Source

Introduction:
Life in its entirety is short therefore should be lived memorably. One should live a life worthy of emulation, worthy enough to live footprints that can not be removed. From the beginning of one's life, it is expedient that one lives a good life but we see that life happens to people different and people react differently to it. The more reasons we see people of good virtues and the corrupted people. So we are not to wait until the dying minute to amend our ways. I as a person have not been in complete right standing with my God and Creator. The way I have lived my life, I am not 100% proud of it. I don't wanna make any excuse but if I wish maybe there may be one or two excuses to make to cover up for how unsatisfied I am with myself for the life I have lived.

If I have just a week to live, there are a couple of things I will do best in order not to fall aside on the last day. For I know the world I live is not the end of life, there is a better place. Explained below are the three most important things I will do best. These three points explain how I would live my last 7 days.

• DRAW CLOSER TO GOD. I am a born again Christian. I don't just say I am a Christian because I was born into a Christian home or not because I go to Church. I know how it has been between me and God. I stray from God's will sometimes and I am usually in my senses when I do. Therefore I will draw close to God as close as possible, even if I will have to sleep and wake with him by my side.

The word of God says:

' be thou holy as I am as I am holy, for without holiness, no eyes shall see the Lord'.
Since Heaven is where I would like to spend eternity, and without holiness, I won't make it there, I would have to draw close to God to live a holy life.
I know without drawing close to The Father, I won't be able amend my ways. The word of God is the only way to amend my ways.
James 1:25- But whosoever looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deeds.

• FORM BETTER RELATIONSHIPS: I am a friendly individual, I love making friends - lots of them and I also make sure to make them happy, helping them in what ever way possible. I love relating with people and impacting their lives in whatever way possible. But I am not so satisfied with how I handle family, friends and well wishers. I think I should treat people better, exuding love and kindness. I will take conscious effort to do my best to be a better person to each person that comes my way. To show you how important family, friends and well wishers (neighbours) are, loving them is one of the greatest commandments my Lord Jesus stated.

Matthew 22: 39b - You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
1st John 4:7 - "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God."

• TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY PARENTS: It was not a mistake that I came out from my parents. God programmed it so that I come from them. They have done their very best to take care of me from cradle until now. I am eternally grateful to them. Even though I am not financially buoyant enough to take care of them the way I wish, I shall do my best to take care of them as far as I have breadth in me. I shall spend more time with them and help them in the house with little things as little as chores.

Exodus 20:12 - Honour your father and your mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth the.

Conclusion: I know I am not supposed to lead a better life at the knowledge of when I m going to depart this world but if eventually I have an insight into the future and know that I am going to be taken away in a week's time, I shall do to my very best the above explained phrases or statements.
But with my the last Bible verse I quoted, do you know that the seven days can be prolonged? ... HAHAHA!

Thanks for reading.
