Time


Why do I live like there is always tomorrow, but I plan as if there is only today?

Did I retain anything that I learned from yesterday?

It’s time for the present...

To discover the unwrapped portion of His gift...

Shaking off the clinging bondage from the wrappings of the past...

Bringing forth any sweet memories, and time-tested knowledge...

Especially those learned from our mistakes.

Let His gift of truth navigate our lives...

Becoming wise stewards of the time and resources given...

To sow seeds that will reap a harvest of good fruit for our days...

Towards His plan for yesterday, today and tomorrow...behold the Body of Christ.
We must always be on guard, to plan and protect...to not waste His sacrifice.

About the "Time" poem...

Our lives are a gift from our Creator, God. We were not meant to live through our life journey without Him being a part of us. We were created out of love, to love...to be part of the Body of Christ. We need to let God be our navigator, allowing His Word...His Holy Spirit, to guide us in our journey of life, to have Him be at the helm of our vessel...our body, mind, and soul.

From the seeds we sow, we will reap. Even in as short of time as a second, or the harvest may come later...minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, into eternity...sooner or later the consequences, or fruit, of our choices will be evident - the seeds we sow, how we spend our time...our thoughts and actions.

He made the ultimate sacrifice to have a relationship with us, because He loves us. We need to take the time to get to know Him, to let Him show us how to love ourselves and others...to not waste the gift of life He has given us.
