Heb. 3 :7, 8 OH! I HAVE MISSED IT AT LAST! I will plead with you to give me your attention for few seconds. Just read this, a true story! We are talking about finishing strong, some of us have not even started at all, some are out of the race already. We're struggling to get back to God but it seems everything is falling apart. You just have to read this! OH! I HAVE MISSED IT AT LAST! "Some time ago, a physician called upon a young man who was ill. He sat for a little while by the bedside, examining his patient, and then he honestly told him the sad intelligence that he had but a very short time to live. The young man was astonished; he did not expect it would come to that so soon. He forgot that death comes "in such an hour as we think not." At length he looked up into the face of the doctor, and with a most despairing countenance, repeated the expression, "I have missed it-- at last" "What have you missed?" inquired the tenderhearted, sympathizing physician. "I have missed it -- at last" again he repeated. "Missed what?" "Doctor, I have missed the salvation of my soul." "Oh, say not so-- it is not so. Do you remember the thief on the cross?" "Yes, I remember the thief on the cross. And I remember they never said to the Holy Ghost, 'Go Thy way,' But I did. And now He is saying to me, "Go your way!" He lay gasping for a while, and looking up with a vacant, starting eye, he said, "I was awakened and was anxious about my soul a little time ago. But I did not want to be saved then. Something seemed to be saying to me, "Don't put it off, make sure of salvation." I said to myself, "I will postpone it." I knew I ought not to do it. I knew I was a great sinner, and needed a Saviour. I resolved, however, to dismiss the subject for the present. Yet I could not get my own consent to do it until I had promised to take it up again, at a time more remote and more favourable. I bargained away, resisted and insulted the Holy Spirit--and now I have missed it at last." You remember "said the doctor, "that there were some who come at the eleventh hour." "My eleventh hour", he rejoined " was when I had that call of the Spirit. I have had none since -- shall I not have. I am given over to be lost. Oh! I have missed it! I have sold my soul for nothing -- a feather -- a straw -- undone forever!" This was said with such indescribable despondency, that nothing was said in reply. After lying a few moment, he raised his head, and looking all around the room as if for some desired object, he buried his face in the pillow, and again exclaimed in agony and horror, "Oh! I have missed it at last!" and died. Reader, you need not to miss your salvation, for you may have it now. What you have read is a true story. How earnestly it says to you, "NOW is the accepted time" "TODAY IF YE HEAR HIS VOICE HARDEN NOT YOUR HEARTS" Heb. 3 : 7, 8" ===> The Fire Brand. I hope someone there won't realise this when it's too late. Forget about finishing well if this matter is not settle now. It's time to seek forgiveness from God. That's is the right way to begin the journery into eternity. John 3:3. PAUSE AND PRAY NOW!
