Sea of many faces..

I find myself thinking. Yes, to think sometimes can be a dangerous concept, but to think for me is time spent with my Jesus. Time is just a fleeting moment in mortal life, but time in eternal life is never ending; eternity = forever. My mind at times races a mile a minute thinking, and when I try to tell it to slow down, please, it keeps on moving. So many "things" to do, never enough time; enough time? In life, we find ourselves busy like little bumblebees. Taking a break from life's busyness is always a welcome 'reward'. But in terms of busyness in the sea of faces, should a "true" break be taken?

When I am out and about, especially when I am driving and can have some quiet time, I find myself pondering the sea of faces. As a Christian, I have assurance that my eternity will be spent in heaven with Jesus, my Savior; but, then my heart aches. I wonder to myself - the lady in the car next to me, do she know the truth? the smiling couple, laughing and having a good time, do they know the truth, and are they secure about their eternity? the group of teens gathered together just hanging out, do they know where they will spend eternity? Questions, thoughts, a lot of pondering, and I feel a pull at my heart with the "not knowing". Makes me think of "the harvest is many, but the workers are few"

Lord, I pray, help me live a life of example for your Kingdom. Allow the vast sea of faces see a different light in me; one that shines so brightly for everyone I come in contact with. I thank you Lord for your gift of eternal salvation; I am secure in that. Even to touch only one life would be a start in the right direction, (and) the sea of faces shall come to know you one by one.
