JOURNAL=5-6-15=TIME=HONOR IT
JOURNAL=5-6-15=TIME=HONOR IT
“Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own-UNLESS-it REMAINS on the vine so neither can you- unless you REMAIN IN ME” John 15:4
WE WERE MADE for finding God in our lives-and once we find him-we are to HOLD on to him-ALL the days of our life-and NEVER LET GO
GOD grants us 70 years-80 if are strong-and some of us-even get a little more TIME than that-but we should TREASURE our time with God-treasure our time with others-LOVE-LOVE-LOVE-as much as you can-for that is THE ONLY THING that makes a lasting difference in this world-and we KNOW-through the life of Jesus Christ that LOVE NEVER DIES
And when life gets tough-WHEN life gets difficult-SIMPLY SERVE your TIME on your knees-but NEVER let go OF THE PRESENCE of God-he really IS the VINE-and we really are the branches-he will lead us back to our feet
ABIDE IN GOD-abide in Christ-GIVE all your time to LOVING THEM-and LOVING OTHERS-and your LIFE-your time on earth-WILL MAKE a lasting difference in this world
it is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us and a great day for giving OUR TIME to God-who will DRAW US closer and closer to him-ALL the days of our life
TIME-HONOR IT
We live in an INFINITE world
Of TIME
We don't know
WHEN it began
And we don't know
IF and when it will end
UNLESS GOD
Decides to end it
But we also know
The amount of time
We have in this world
IS FINITE
OUR LIVES
will one day end
TIME=HONOR IT
LIVE your life with love
Live your life in honesty
And with INTEGRITY
LOVE OFTEN-forgive much
MAKE this world a better place
“For a thousand years
In your sight
Are as yesterday........” Psalm 90:4
IF you ever
have the time
Read ALL of psalm 90
It is a MESSAGE
About the beautiful fragility
Of human life
For God
TIME IS INFINITE
But for us
Whose time is limited
We are always
LOSING it-wasting it-and then wishing
We could make it LAST FOREVER
ONE THING is certain
At some point
In our life
We will run out of time
SO TREASURE it-HONOR IT
Make the most of it
Time is limited
Time is precious
Make the most of it
Honor your person
LOVE everyone
LOVE everything
Even if you don't like
Someone or something
“The Lord is a refuge
For the oppressed
A STRONGHOLD
In times of trouble” Psalm 9:9
He has certainly
Been that for me
WITHOUT GOD
I wouldn't
Even be here
“MY TIMES
Are in your hands
Deliver me
From my enemies
And from those
Who pursue me” Psalm 31:15
TIME-TREASURE IT-HONOR IT
It does not
Last forever
It can be gone
In the wink
Of an eye
However old you are
Make the most of your time
Starting tomorrow
“The LENGTH
Of our days
Is seventy years-
Or eighty
IF we are strong” Psalm 90:10
Dear lord-WE PRAY
Let us never forget
That we
Are the WORK of your hands
HELP US to HONOR our time
the passing of hours
And days
As we MOVE
Into your world
OF ETERNITY
WE HONOR you Lord
And we honor the TIME
That you have given us
