life works... by Ricky Randolph, experiencer
"What have you done with your life?" The voice penetrated
my very being. I had no answer.
Then to my right I saw what seemed to be like a movie, and
I was in it. I saw my mother giving me birth, my childhood and friends. I saw everything from my youth up. I saw everything
I had ever done before my eyes!
As my life played out before my very eyes I tried to think
of good things I had done. I was raised in church and had been very active in church functions, yet as I pondered on this,
I saw a man in his car that had ran out of gas.
I had stopped and given him a lift to a local
store about a year ago. I had bought him some gas as he had no money and helped him get on his way. I thought to my self,
why am I seeing this? The voice was loud and clear.
"You took no thought to help this soul
and asked nothing in return. These actions are the essence of good."
I saw all the people
I had hurt as well and was shown how my actions had set in motion the actions of others. I was stunned! I had never thought
of my life having an effect on the actions that friends, family, and others I had met would take. I saw the results of all
I had done. I was not pleased at all.
I looked on until the events came to an end. Indeed
I had done so little with my life. I had been selfish and cruel in so many ways. I was truly sorry I had done so little. Then
again loud and clear I heard the voice speak again, "You must return."
