Mr. Governor

A few weeks ago I heard that my neighbor Mr. Governor was put into a nursing home. I immediately sensed the need to go and see him. I am not particularly close to him and even more distant from his wife, but the urging was strong enough that I could not ignore it. Intending to go and see him, I asked another neighbor where he was staying and he told me, but added that Mr. Governor did not want any visitors. Still, I told myself, I will go and see him. Mr. Governor died Thursday. I never got over there. Constantly I was reminded that I needed to go see him and constantly I said I would, but put it off. I don’t know the state of his soul was when he died, or what I could have done if I had gone, but one thing I know for sure is that now I’ll never know. I’m filled with a deep sense of shame and sadness that I was called to visit this man before his death and I did not respond. Please listen carefuly and obey all that the Lord asks of you, for only He knows the future and your place in it. If you know of something(s) that you need to do, do it today. Say it today. Give it today. Send it today. Visit today. "Today, if you hear His voice..."
