Do you need
that make up? Do you need that many clothes? Do you need this or that?
When you one day look in the mirror and smiles but still see
an angry face looking right into your eye, that is old age catching.
The charm
of beauty vanishes into the thin air. When you are old, with that wrinkles on
your body, that’s when you become bored hearing the body lotion advert for
smooth skin.
When your natural legs begin to fail you, when a stick becomes
your third leg, you realize your strength is stepping aside.
When your teeth
are gone, that is when the pizza delivery man angers you. When you studied your
body and your six packs has transformed into one pack, you will wonder why you
spent all those time at the gym trying to impress the ladies when men were
needed to do the work of God.
When you
are denied the renewal of your driving license because of poor eye sight due to
old age, when you finally retire to that wheel chair because your waste is weak
to link up with your legs to walk, you ponder over the value of the four wheel
drive packed there for decades.
When your time of departure draws closer and
you are lying down on your sick bed knowing that upon fighting and cheating
people to building mansions, you will just be placed in a coffin smaller than
your kitchen cabinet. Sorrow will consume you, with regret ringing like a bell
in every thought that crosses your mind.
When you finally depart, and the Lord
God calls your name and says: Hello my son, I gave you the strength to win 100
souls for me. Where are they? I gave you the finances to build & support my
church. How did it go? I gave you this for that. What is the result?
Every second will be accounted for. When the
time is up, you will be left with your ideal self. You will be stripped off
your luxury. No beauty or handsome charm, no riches or fame, no strength or
power, it is just your deeds facing judgement.
Use your time well. Live a life
worthy of your calling. All things shall pass away but it is only the word of
God that will remain forever. Be wise and choose forever over temporal.
