Today, NOT tomorrow

September 22, 2014
   You can never actually live life until you have lived it to the fullest. 

 My life could end today. Right now. Tomorrow, or maybe even 20-50 years from now. We have no idea what our lifetime will hold. I may be blessed with a family, or the Lord might have other plans for me. All I know is right now I want to live today to the fullest. I want to give glory to God for everything I do. I want to have Him the focus of my thoughts, the Lord of my life, the King that I bow to. 

   And, each person I meet has a special purpose in growing my faith. The lady who delivers my mail each day might teach me how to serve. Or my mother, how to be a strong Christian each day. Maybe someone who has hurt me in a certain way will teach me more about forgiveness. Or even just smiling at a stranger in the store and seeing a pain in their eyes, will remind me to pray for them that day.



Everyone needs Christ's love, why not show that to someone today?

   I encourage you, today, to live your day to the fullest.

  2. Amen! Good message! One of my favorite songs is I Know Who Holds Tomorrow: "I don't know about tomorrow, I just live from day to day. I don't borrow from its sunshine for its skies may turn to grey. I don't worry o'er the future, for I know what Jesus said. And today I'll walk beside Him, for He knows what is ahead..."

  4. So true! Sometimes I forget that this earth is only temporary. Sometimes I think death is so far off but anything, everything could happen in seconds. This is a great reminder to live our lives for Him and not waste a moment.

    1. Hi Julia :)
      I'm really glad you liked my post. Don't be afraid! I do honestly feel the same way at times, but on my blog I feel a lot more comfortable. I think it is because I am writing rather than talking. ;)
