Do you perceive the time of your life as running out, or as being fulfilled?
“Redeem the time, because the days are evil” (Eph. 5.16) That means to fully occupy your life, taking every opportunity to do good, so that you overwhelm all the difficulties and darkness, instead of the other way around.
Despite what the mirror might say, time is a friend. Every day it invites you to see yourself, and everyone else, as God does. A revelation of the finiteness of life makes you intentional with your choices to grow in your identity, and empowers you to meet each day with peace, confidence, and joy.
Sometimes you can get deceived into judging yourself by society’s neurotic obsession with youth. Never good. Take a few of those precious minutes today, and ask the Lord to help you reset your heart and mind to see life with all the wisdom and love that He does. In that mindset, time slows in a sense, because you can fully be in your moments and enjoy them, instead of chasing someone else’s. I hope today is truly fulfilling for you.
