Who Will You?


One day a woman named Louise fell asleep in her bed and
dreamed a dream. She dreamed that someone from hell wrote
her a letter and it was to be deliverd by a messenger.
The messenger passed between the lakes of burning fire
and brimstone that occupies hell, and found his way to
the door that would lead him to the outside world.
Louise dreamed that the messenger walked into her house,
came inside, and woke her up. He gave her the message,
saying only that a friend had written it to her from hell.
Louise, in her dream, with trembling hands took the letter
and read:

My friend,
I stand in judgment now,
and feel that you are to blame some how.
On earth, I walked with you day and day,
and never did you point the way.
You knew the Lord in truth and glory,
but never did you tell the story.
My knowledge then was very dim;
You could have led me safe to Him.
Though we lived together on the earth,
you never told me of the second birth,
and now I stand this day condemned,
because you failed to mention Him.
You taught me many things, that's true,
I called you "friend" and trusted you,
but I learn now that it's too late,
you could have kept me from this fate.
We walked by day and talked by night,
and yet you showed me not the light.
You let me live, and love, and die,
you knew I'd never live on high.
Yes, I called you a "friend" in life,
and trusted you through joy and strife,
and yet on coming to the end,
I can not, now, call you "my friend."

After reading the letter, Louise awoke.
The dream was so real in her mind that sweat dropped
from her body in pools. She seemed to still smell
the brimstone and smoke in her room. As she comtemplated
the meaning of her dream, she realized that as a Christian,
she had failed in her duty to " go out to all the world and
preach the gospel ." As she thought of that, she promised
herself that the next day, she would call Marsha and invite
her to church with her. The next morning she called Marsha
and this was the conversatition:
Yes, Bill, is Marsha there?
Louise, you don't know?
No, Bill, know what?
Marsha was killed last night in a car accident!
I thought you had known.

Fellow Christian, is this your testimony?
Are you witnessing to your friends that you are with every day?
Will there be a friend of yours in hell,
asking you why you did not tell them about JESUS?
Deep thought, don't you think?
How many of your friends will hold you accountable for not
telling them about Jesus and His love? It is every Christians
mission to share the gospel message with all. It is not just
the pastors, deacons, sunday school teachers job, it is our job.
Jesus does not ask you to tell the world, he commands us to tell
the world! God's purpose in our life was not just to "get us saved"
if it was, once we accepted Christ into our life and received His gift
of salvation He would have taken us on to heaven.
