Time

Ecclesiastes writes there is a time for everything… For death, For healing, For weeping or laughing, For dancing and keeping silent, there indeed is a time for everything. I’ve always pondered on the concept of time, its ability to seem so slow or move too fast, to bring sorrow or fill our hearts with joy. Time is inevitable, we can’t gain time or lose time; it's a constant tick of second throughout our seemingly long days.

It's a constant reminder of how little our life is compared to centuries of souls passing the earth. I almost feel like my life is a rose in a glass jar, falling petal by petal until there is nothing left but of the stem of who I once was. As humans we naturally desire fulfillment in every aspect of our time, and that is sought out differently depending on our personalities and talents. We ask ourselves what do we want our life to look like? What do I want to be known for?

The cold hard truth is it won't matter because new souls will cover this earth and the ones that knew you will pass away, even legacies of people will eventually die. Time is neverending, Death is inevitable, but eternity is forever. At the end of the day time will fade but your soul will remain forever, where will that forever look for you? My heart grieves for you if you don’t know or don’t care because I know someone who does. Your life may seem empty but have you met the one who gives life, and gives it abundantly? I hope you do because time is slipping away second by minute never to be held again, why waste it on an artificial purpose that is pleasing to the eye but deceptive to the soul.

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” ~ Galatians 2:20
