Life is but a vapor

I just read perhaps one of the best books I have ever picked up. The name is "Point Blank" by Mark Rempel. I highly recommend it. It really puts time in perspective. We don't have much time. We need to realize that our lives can be taken from us at any point. And at the end of your time are you going to have regrets? One day God is going to come and take his children out of the filth that our sin has created. Are we going to be ready? Is the Lord going to say, "Well done, good and faithful servant." or "I don't know you?"

Perhaps you know the song Who Am I by Casting Crowns. The chorus says exactly what I am trying to say...

"I am a flower quickly fading. Here today and gone tomorrow, a wave tossed in the ocean, a vapor in the wind. Still You hear me when I'm calling. Lord, You catch when I'm falling and You've told me who I am. I am Yours. I am Yours..." - Who Am I by Casting Crowns

Who are you? Are you a child of God? Where do you stand? Life is but a vapor...where will you be when your time is up?
