With props to Garth Brooks, "If Tomorrow Never Comes" is song about loving someone in the present and someone from the past. The song reminds us to "tell that someone that you love just what you're thinking of" because you never know about tomorrow do you? Brooks wrote that he's lost a love one that never really knew how he felt about them because they were here today and gone the next.
I'm sure many of us have had a similar experience; I mean we take our time on earth for granted don't we? We become complacent and lazy especially in our relationships with one and other; more often than not we aren't as loving and compasionate as we could be. A touch, a kind word, eye contact or even just being in the same room can at times mean so much and take so little effort to perform. As the old proverb suggests "Don't put off until tomorrow that which you can do today."
How is your relationship with God today? Have you taken time to pray or to read a verse or two in Scripture? Today's life style often puts a premium on time doesn't it? Rushing here, running there so much to do; don't you wish there were 25 hours in a day? Ask yourself the question that the song suggests but "what happens if tomorrow never comes?" Are you prepared today to meet your Father in Heaven should He decide to call you home? Matthew 7:34 tells us "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will about itself, but seek first his kingdom.
Remember the old Sunday School song "Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so?" When that time comes are you ready to meet Jesus? Know this for sure, He loves you today and tomorrow and everyday to come.
