Reflections on Time



Make 2014 a year for sharing



“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.  I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live.” – Ecclesiastes 3:11-12

Quotes from Rich Palmer













Living our lives through yesterday’s lenses will weaken the spirit and increase the resistance to pursuing His purpose.

Tomorrow is nothing more than a figment of your imagination, for when it arrives, it has become today.  Live in the present, love those around you and serve God in your present place.

The glory days of your past have etched a place in your memory, but when drawn upon are no longer quite as fulfilling. 

Let your yesterday’s stay where they are, for in trying to relive them you must accept the good and the bad.  Rather open your eyes and seek those in your present that need to create memories with you today.

What value have we in worrying about what is to come when the next breath you take may very well be your last.

There is no such thing as tomorrow, there is only today and a history of yesterday’s waiting for tomorrow.  Serve God with all you have today.

If your past was so incredible, than how did you get to a place in life where you are longing for those days instead of the one you are living in.

I have found that the biggest challenge in life is regretting what we might have done with the time that has passed, and yet we don’t change the way we are planning to use the time in front of us.

These are my thoughts on time this morning.  I find myself longing for the courage and strength to pursue life with a new perspective each day and offer change to the mistakes of my past, so that I can help others have a better future.  We are only here for a moment in the grand scheme of existence.  The reality is that this life is truly something that we take for granted and regardless of accomplishments will be found lacking when completed.  Treasure each moment that God has given you, check your thoughts before speaking, calm your emotions before reacting and put on the peace of your Savior before confronting those who may be different than you.  For in this life you are only given one chance to make a difference and then you will die.  This is a fact for each and every one of you.  We are all destined for the same conclusion in this life and there is no way to avoid it.  When achieved, your decisions in this life will have an eternal impact on what comes next, so don’t take it lightly. 

I love each of you, and will be remiss in my life’s purpose if I don’t implore you to seek Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord.  Truly seek Him and test His love for you as complete, unchanging and infinite in depth.  There is nothing you can do to separate yourself from the breadth of His love, for in His death and resurrection He has washed away the worst ugliness that you can imagine from your past.  Your time is moving forward at the same pace as every other person around you, choose today to make the most of what little time you have left on this earth.  Live with a purpose to impact others in a manner that extends beyond the finite breath that exists in their lungs.
