What a concept that time would be our currency. In a way it really is... as all we can bring to heaven are souls... and winning just one- takes time. Quality time. Investing in love rather than in selfish intent.
Forging ahead as to purpose life for others by giving of our very breathe. The phrase “it’s not really stealing if it’s already stolen” is intriguing. We live at the cost of the very life that only God can offer... We stole that life from Him but at the same time He freely gave it. One can argue the concept of deserving life but I fail to accept my worth in that regard. Rather, believing that I am undeserving and learning the true worth I have been given through Him and only Him.
Only one man had to die for all mankind, His name is Jesus. The false belief in the movie “In Time”, for those in lack of need for time, was that many must die at the price of one to live- forever. I am dumbstruck as in truth only one died and the price is already paid for ALL who believe... and LIVE. A price paid forever and cannot be stolen.
Who on earth could really make their life count with frivolous meanderings and thoughtless goals. We fail to see the purpose in the glimpse of life we dare think is ours. Questing to become someone or something rather than loving the one in front of us, including our very selves. Abusing life as if it is worth nothing, abusing self as if we are nothing.
Asking oneself how they value each second is a monumental discovery. Succumbing to realize the waste we in fact deny. Righteously choosing to ignore such ponderings, as if their truths would devour us inside. The truth is they do. Daring to magnify our greed and lust for more of what will only be taken away from us. Pointless gain for nothing. Powerless loss for nothing. Everyone ending life in the same state- dissatisfied and disappointed.
Ambitions to strive to better oneself can only begin in surrender. Willingly and joyfully able to sacrifice the very thing we long to prolong. In some cases to erase. All for what, some may ask and remain asking, until the end of time itself. Where there and then truth is known beyond comprehension. The true value of the Living Sacrifice in the One that was given for us. The One who loved to the point of death.
Some may presume to die is gain for the hope of many. Breaking stereotypes and rewriting the definition of what we think is sacrifice of oneself. It is rare that one would follow through with this belief. Challenging those who waste life, profoundly proclaiming everyone is for themselves. Neglecting the responsibility we have for the souls entrusted to us, failing them and leaving us all wanting. Never satisfied and unwilling to change, begging the question, what next. Unfortunately only time will tell.
May you determine who you will serve, yourself or Christ. Today is just as imporatant as all the tommorws in the world. Lets not waist the quality time that we have right now.
