That thought and that realization has really helped shape the way I view today, and tomorrow, and this life in general... It's also helped me understand what James meant when he said in [James 4:14] ''For you are like vapor that appears for a little while, then vanishes.''

God never promised we'd have another day... but He's allowed us to have TODAY... THIS MOMENT... THIS DASH...
Let me tell you why this message is so important for us right now: When you look at the life and ministry of Jesus... He makes it very clear that... What happens in your da ...
