Schindler's List

Last night, I watched the movie Schindler's List for the first (and probably last) time.  It's one of those movies that everyone should probably see once.  Anyway, I think the part that impacted me the most was at the very end when Schindler was getting ready to flee after the war had come to an end and he was weeping, saying that he could have saved more Jews, he could have done more; he could have sold his car, he should have saved more people.  I had this horrifying thought that maybe that is how I will feel for a moment in heaven when I realize what I could have done to impact more people for Christ.  Of course, no one can come to Him unless the Father draws him, BUT I know there is more I can do to work to "save" those around me. 

I am often silent about my faith, hoping that people will see a difference and ask or realize that it's Christ in me that makes the difference.  But when I see someday what little I have really for those around me blindly heading toward an eternity away from God, I'm afraid I will realize that "I could have done more.  I could have done so much more".  If the horror of the holocaust brings me to tears, how much more should the threat of an eternity in Hell separated from God motivate me to speak up.
