Urgency

It's funny how someone's death can cause us to awake from our contented slumber.
Markus's death was that call to me.
A wake up call.

Indubitably, Markus's death has caused a ripple effect, a wave in which I have been caught into myself.
A young man, passionate and Godly driven for the cause he believed it, who ran the race well beyond his age and died doing so.
One cannot help but to stand in respect and in awe of his certainty in the cause he was fighting for and while in the process of doing so, showed tremendous courage, generousity, kindness and friendship to the people around him -- Malay, Indian, Chinese.
It didn't matter.
He had one aim and only one aim in mind -
To make an impact in our nation with a Godly-driven passion.

There I am.
Sitting, listening and seeing the procession at his funeral service.
I couldn't help but to asks myself,
"What am I doing with life? This ONE life.."

I think for those who knew Markus, his death has in one way or another triggered something within us.
And I believe that something is this deep sense of urgency.
He died at the age of 23, so young.
But what separates us from Markus is the fact that he lived every single day with such great urgency that made him do the many great things he has done which has left footprints to be followed and carried on by people who were touched by him.
He truly has made a difference.

As I ponder to myself, "What am I doing with my life",
I urge you to mull over it as well.

What are you doing with your life?

Life must be more than just living a cycle of everyday life, living day bv day without a purpose.
There must be more than this.
