There is a, now famous, line in the movie Braveheart, where William Wallace is addressing an army that has lost its sense of itself. One man shouts, "If I run, I will live!"
Wallace responds, "Aye, fight and you may die. Run and you'll live -- at least a while. And dying in your beds many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!!!"
I got thinking about that. We have this one life to live, how will we make it count? The older I get the faster I see the years going by. What seemed like an endless supply of days now seems very limited.
Who will you live your life for?
Jesus said,
"For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it." -Matthew 16:25 (NIV)
Time to make a choice?
