No, not mine but they are really important/significant aren’t they? Especially if you are on the recipient of those words. Was watching Naruto and this episode showed how Captain Asuma was dying and left his last words to his beloved students, encouraging them and telling them areas where they need to work on with his departure. Or even in 火蓝球, when the grandma was on her deathbed and told 元大鹰 that he must 专注 and focus on basketball. These words will really really be a source of great motivation for those living. Recall the last movie/show you watched that showed a scene of someone on the deathbed and leaving his/her last words to the loved one. Touching isn’t it? Always make me tear. Haiz...
But this whole episode reminded me of two things. Firstly, God left us His “last words” which is found in Scriptures. How many of us (me included) would really take heed of those words and have those words encouraging us when we are down? When times are tough, will it be verses that pick me up and motivate me to move on? We probably dun spend as much time on His “last words” than we ought to.
Secondly, what would be the last words I would leave my loved ones with? Will those words be constructive and encourage them to draw closer to God? Or would it simply be tear jerking words that will last only for that moment? Was just talking with boss recently about the whole funeral thingy (which ironically sprang from a conversation on planning birthday parties and how to do it well). If I know I am dying in 6 months time (e.g. cancer), will I prepare for it by filming myself down and with my own words, share the gospel and play it during my funeral? That would be meaningful and cool wouldn’t it? Worth giving a thought to and if the opportunity does come, I ask that the Lord give me the wisdom to do what is best.
