Josh was a teen in high school who was an average student.
He was in the football team, made good grades, and was a popular
student. Another boy, his friend Caleb, was more shy, and was
always on the sidelines of life.
Caleb one day had the courage to talk about the Bible to Josh.
"Hey, do you want to go to church with me this sunday?"
Josh gave him a 'are you crazy' look.
"Me?...Go to church?" "Why"
Caleb answered, "It's cool, it really is...and it's filled with the Truth...
don't you know the God that loves you so much?"
"Pfft, yea, but I don't think God is for me," Josh answered.

Caleb was disappointed, but he didn't let it get him down.
The next day they were walking to school, and as they crossed
the street, a guy in a truck passed out from low blood sugar, and
his foot pressed on the gas. The truck came speeding down the road,
but Josh was too busy listening to his Ipod to notice. Caleb saw what was coming, and knowing he had one split second to make a move, he ran into the street, push Josh forward, and then...the truck hit him at high speed.
He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. He could barely write, the most he did was write 'Hi' or 'I love you' to his family, but he couldn't talk.
Finally, one day, Josh visited him in the hospital, and watched as his friend passed away.
He cried so hard, and when he reached for Caleb's hands, a piece of paper dropped out.

On it was written John 15:13
 
*sniff* that was so touching, and yet so encouraging at the same time.

I've learnt from this. Thank you.
 
what is our life worth?

What would happen if you were never born? what can you recieve from nothing?As far as I am concerned,life holds as much value as you put on it. Some put little on there own life,while many hold your life more inportant, then we ourselves!! why? Because others espically if the Lord has become part of his or her life, look for what value you have, maybe you give a kind word when needed,maybe you are just there to listen to another in pain,or suffering,humm you mean like Jesus does all of us? yes I do,part of love is kindness,part of love,is in us! It is up to each of us,to have a purpose in our lives! But mark i do not really seem to have one.Then go forth and help another you can,you will see!! How can Jesus show himself if not through us!! The whole reason why we are created is to grant what we ourselves wish to have!! understanding,not being judged by creed or color,shown just simply kindness.We are created to love, and to be loved,no my friends not by the World!! John 15:16-19!! But mark if not by the world by whom then?? for we all have to live here, and get along as best we can!!1 Cor 9:22! so true!! indeed we do,by shaping our lives to line up with God's Word, renewing our mind first( rom 12:1-2) so that we can learn, to give grace and mercy,as we need as well.Your live is worth!!!! anothers life!! For Jesus gave his very own life for us? why? as an example!! we live for God!, oh yea mark prove it in the Word!! ok check out rom 14:8 that is a fact,whether we believe it or not, it holds true.And since we are the Lords!! g!! don't you think it is about time to act like it? just a question. it is for me saints! The most powerful weapon in all the World!! no not any bomb!! lol but rather what comes out of our mouth!! proverbs 18:22 and tons more! tell us!! james!! etc... Go to someone, anyone, and grant them a kind word, watch what happens!! LOL we are moved by words,for good words lead to action!!James 1:22 bad words lead to?? see what I mean? I do not judge any!! no need!! we do that ourselves!Can others be around us without hearing death?? not me anymore!! it is so wonderful to see a face lit up, knowing!! like all of us we have one more chance!! do not waste it!! For one never knows how long we remain.So I live everyday as it is my last,because my purpose in life, is now to get the Bride ready!! let us wake from our sleep!! rom 13:11 and become a blessing to all we meet!!amen! lv in Christ! mark
