Did you know Jesus, and did you make an eternal impact here in this temporary life?

 I came across this video on YouTube a couple days ago, and its message was so profound that I wanted to share it here:

Warning from God: isn't it crazy how people are already moving on with their lives, and people are just on to the next headline, onto the next story, and just moving past this Charlie Kirk situation? I just saw this clip [image of large US flag at Utah Valley University where Kirk was assassinated] and I was like, "man, that's the same exact spot where everything went down," ... and people are just going about their lives as they normally would. 

The truth is, me and you, we're gonna die one day. And the people close to us are gonna be sad; they're gonna grieve, they're gonna cry, they're gonna miss us. But most people are gonna hear about us dying, and they might be sad for a day, maybe two, maybe even three, then they're just gonna move on with their life. And man, if that doesn't wake you up... 

Why do we care so much about what people think about us, when they're honestly not even thinking about us in the first place? And when we die, they're gonna think about us for, like, three days, max, and then just move on with their life. Like, what are we doing? Why are we spending so much of our energy worrying about what people think about us? 

So what actually matters in this life? It's not what people think about you; it's not the money you have; it's not the car you drive; it's not the house you live in. Nobody's gonna care about how many followers you had, or how famous you were. 

What matters is this: did you know Jesus, and did you make an eternal impact here in this temporary life? 

You don't get to take your bank account to heaven; you don't get to take your followers. The only thing you get to take to heaven with you is your soul. And the only question that's gonna matter is: did you give your life to Jesus? 

... because people are gonna move on from you, people are gonna forget about you, but Jesus never will. I heard a quote that said: "life is strange: you arrive with nothing, [you] spend your entire life chasing everything, and [you] still leave with nothing." Make sure your soul gains more than your hands. Can I get [an] Amen?

For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? Matthew 16:26, NKJV

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? Mark 8:36-37, NKJV
