Five minutes after we die...

"Five minutes after we die, we'll know exactly how we should have lived. We'll know how we should have given, prayed, shared our faith, meditated on Scripture. But then it will be too late to go back and live our lives over again. We won't have a chance to become sold-out disciples of Jesus Christ in a fallen world. Here and now is our only opporutnity to do that."

"Ask yourself, 'Five minutes afer I die, what will I wish I would have done in this life while I still had the chance?' When you come up with the answer, why not do it now? Why not spend the rest of your life closing the gap between what you'll wish you would have done and what you actually did."

~ Randy Alcorn (taken from his book "50 Days of Heaven: Reflections that Bring Eternity to Light"
