Romans 8
v9 Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

If you are going to die, you will look at life at the last moments very differently. As I reflected this on the movie "2012", it is the relationship that matters, not the wealth or the pocession that matters.

As I eat my breakfast today, I give thanks to God for His provision, yes its a simple breakfast, but I can aford it, with a cup of coffee plus another cup of milo, not plain water.

As I looked at my father this morning, the medicine is making him weak again, soon he may lose his strength and no longer can say it is he himself that he can make it.

We are all dead to sin and soon all dead in our physical body because of sin. Wealth and strength will become no more. What is then that I will look forward? My Jesus and my family. These are the people that will be with me not because I am rich or because I am able.

But not all knows Jesus and will die not only to the body but also to the spirit. What is it so worth like my father who yet to know Christ intend to continue not to know Christ because he has himself to depends on?

I pray for my spirit man that I may hear and continue to be sensitive to the spirit of God. I pray for my family that they will choose to be near with Jesus and to those like my father, they may know Jesus. Amen.
