Time….hours, minutes, seconds, years,
months, decades, moments, eras, age, period, young, old, midlife crisis, prime,
birthdays, anniversary, goal, stages, grades, paycheck, job, season, series,
….we have so many different ways to describe time.
Time fly’s by, time stands still. Do we
value time?
Do we expect life to happen to us in
this life of time? Or do we happen to this time in our lives?
I was sitting here thinking about
life. How we don’t have a clue how long we are going to live in this world. How
long or short our lives are going to be.
We often look at the death of people
under a certain age and say or think something like… “they where taken before
their time.” Or “they never got a chance to live out their lives.”
Maybe our perspective is way off! I
mean if you can live your full calling in this world by the age of 4, why
wouldn’t you not want to go start your eternity with Christ?
I’ve watched the pain of passing life
and often thought about the sadness it brings into peoples worlds. I think we
misunderstand death. The focus is the idea and focus of the negative and hurt
of separation.
But inside the love of Jesus there is
so much beauty on the other side of death.
To be dead to self, is to be alive in
Jesus. Do be dead to this world is to be
alive in the arms of Christ.
There have been times when I wonder at
the reason for a miscarried child or even the older generation that struggles
to hold on even when they seem to be internally gone. Like, did you fulfill your purpose in life before
you entered the world? Or what is it that you still need to do on this earth
before you can go home?
Time is what we want most, but what we
use worst. –William Penn.
YOU- right now, what is the meaning of
time in your life? Does it mark off the hours till your done with work? Does it
even impact your brain at all? Do you think about the passing days? Do you
wonder if you are created for more then the thing you are doing?
Do you ever get up in the morning and
think, if this is my last day on earth, what do I want to leave behind?
Do you ever think that, and then
think, I will start tomorrow…kid, what part of your LAST day on this earth did
you miss?
Do you think you have a choice as to
what you do with this life? Or do you see yourself as stuck in what you are
doing?
Do you love what you do? Or do you
struggle to make sense of the everyday mundane happenings?
If You Don’t Make The Time To Work On Creating The Life You Want,
You're eventually going to be forced
to spend a lot of time dealing with a life you don't want. – Kevin Ngo
I feel like there’s a lot of questions
in this whole thing, but seriously I would encourage you to think about it.
Don’t just let this life live around you, live a life that is alive! You can!
