Happy Birthday Dad, You Would Have Been 82 Years Old Today

On occasion I wonder to myself what my father's life would have been like if he would have lived beyond three weeks after giving his heart to Jesus. He was a dedicated Catholic that served communion and blessed the Catholic church monetary wise both during his life and after he died. Imagine how much more he would have been able to do after giving his heart to Jesus. I guess I will never know the answer to that question for it is not up to me to have to answer for his life and how he lived it. Just as it is not up to my family and friends to have to answer for me how I lived my life. We are each held accountable to God for what we do and how we live our lives.
Is there a gift or song inside of you that can only be sung if you sing it? What about talents beyond your natural scope? They are there do not hide them but share them with the world or at least those in your family/nucleus/inner circle. Will you not be remiss one day if you lay in a hospital bed with only 3 weeks left to live and then you begin to look back on that hidden talent that is still inside of you but you did not share it with anyone? How sad that would be. Your talent may be to be the best husband in the world but you got hurt somewhere along the time line of your life and you said to yourself, 'Never again will I allow myself to get hurt like that again.' Suppose there is a hidden talent in you that is still to be discovered and it will only come forth through the spouse God has set aside just for you. Will you still shield yourself from the would-a could-a be things in life that just may never happen. Life is to be lived and why not live it with the one that loves you and will draw that talent out of you. When you step in faith to allow that and the love of another you will be so amazed at what is still inside of you waiting to be shared. Do not pull back but allow God to create through you and bring it to you.
Don't know where that just came from I guess someone had to hear those words. I trust that they were prophetic utterance through Holy Spirit using me to let you receive a confirmation or green light or something like that in your life.
Life can be short. My father probably never thought when he went into the hospital that he would die three weeks later, never to return to his own home. That's OK because he is in his real home, heaven, and I will see him again one day and visit with him for all eternity. Do you possibly have a loved one that is not walking with the Lord? I stand in faith with you that Holy Spirit will direct someone into their very life to share with them the plan of salvation. You see the bible says that He is the same yesterday, today and forever. If He did that for me and my father He will do the same for you. Stand in faith for I set my faith with you for household salvation. There is no sweeter thing in life to know that your whole house is saved and safe in the arms of Jesus and you will be able to rejoice with them in heaven for all eternity. As I stand in faith with you for your loved one's then why not step out in faith and reach out to someone else. Possibly a stranger that you do not even know and share with them how God has been faithful to you and tell them the story about Jesus. Your reaching forth to another today may set in motion for another to reach out to your loved one's and share with them.
Faith in the Lord is a very good place to be, there is no better place in the world to be than walking with Jesus not by sight but by faith. Step out and you will be glad that you did and so will the person you shared with too.
