I QUICKLEY AGREED, WONDERING HOWEVER, WHY NINE MINUTES INSTEAD OF ONE DAY, ONE HOUR, OR EVEN FIFTEEN MINUTES? IT WASN'T UNTIL TWO OR THREE DAYS LATER AFTER I WROTE THE POEM, THAT I RECEIVED THE ANSWER. THE LORD TOLD ME:" TIME IS MUCH SHORTER THAN YOU THINK". IF YOU HAD ONLY NINE MINUTES TO LIVE IF YOU HAD ONLY NINE MINUTES TO LIVE, DO YOU WONDER WHAT YOU WOULD DO? WOULD YOU TELL SOMEONE " I LOVE YOU" OR TREAT THEM LIKE A FOOL? WOULD YOUR EYES BE FILLED WITH KINDNESS INSTEAD OF BEING CRUEL, EVEN THOUGH YOU DIDN'T AGREE WITH ANOTHERS OPINION YOU FELT WAS "BEANEATH YOU" IF YOU HAD ONLY NINE MINUTES TO LIVE, WOULD YOU ADMIT A WRONG OR LET PRIDE GET IN THE WAY, EVEN THOUGH YOU HURT YOUR LOVED ONE,CAUSING HIM OR HER DEEP PAIN. WOULD YOU LET YOURSELF BELIEVE YOU ALONE CREATED YOUR SUCCESS, INSTEAD OF GOD, WHO REVEALED TO YOU HOW TO BE YOUR BEST. WOULD YOU TELL JUST " ONE MORE" LIE TO DECEIVE A SISTER, FRIEND OR BROTHER OR ASSURE THEM THAT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, YOU WILL BE THERE PRAYER COVER. IF YOU HAD NINE MINUTES LEFT WOULD YOU RUSH TO THE PHONE TO SPREAD THE LATEST GOSSIP? OR STOP AND PRAY--ONE LAST TIME--FOR THIS LOST SOULS' SALVATION. WOULD YOU SMILE AT A STRANGER YOU SAW ON THE STREET,NOT KNOWING THEY FELT HOPELESSNESS AND DEFEAT? OR PASS THEM BY WITHOUT EVEM A GLAMCE--TOO MUCH IN A HURRY TO GIVE IT A CHANCE! WOULD YOU HELP A CHILD WHO WAS CRYING AND SCARED,WHO COULDN'T FIND HER MOMMY? OR THINK,SINCE I HAVE ONLY MINE MINUTES TO LIVE, WELL---IT JUST WOULDN'T BE TIMELY. MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE WILL COME TO ASSIST, SO SHE WON'T BE PUT ON THE MISSING CHILD LIST! WOULD YOU ARGUE WITH THE LORD,SAYING,"WHAT ABOUT MY POSSESSIONS!? MY HOUSE, MY CAR,AND MY HARD EARNED EXOTIC VACATION!?" OR KNOW THAT ALL YOUR MATERIAL THINGS DON'T EVEN COME CLOSE,TO THE GLORY THAT HEAVEN ALONE CAN BOAST. WOULD YOU HOLD YOUR LOVED ONE CLOSE?, OR BE TOO "BUSY" TO EXTEND ONE LAST MOMENT WITH THEM BEFORE YOUR LIFE ON EARTH WILL END. IN YOUR LAST AND FINAL MOMENT WOULD YOU BITTERLEY COMPLAIN THAT SOME THINGS IN LIFE CAUSED YOU HEARTACHE AND PAIN!! OR PRAISE GOD FOR THE PRIVILEGE YOUU HAD TO BE AN EXAMPLE TO SHOW "GODS WAY" TO HEAVEN---ON THE WINGS OF AN ANGEL! SO LOVE LIKE YOU HAVE ONLY NINE MINUTES TO LIVE.
