During my meditation time this morning, something so old struck me so profoundly.......... "LIFE IS TOO SHORT!"
This phrase is all too familiar, yet always over looked. I believe when we begin to value the life that God has so richly blessed us with, then nothing else will even remotely matter anymore. Cares, worries, anxiety, jealousy, bitterness, anger, unforgiveness, hate, hang-ups...they all waste a lot of time in our lives. And the crazy thing about it is that none of these things yield us a prosperous return at all. Who's the fool then? God has instructed us to be fruitful and multiply here in this earth realm, but we are so busy entertaining things that don't matter until we have no strength, energy, or zeal to focus on the thing that really does matter...LIFE, IT'S TOO SHORT!
Think about it: all of these things are controlled by you! Yes, most times people are the inciting forces behind many of these things, but ultimately, we have the control or the power over how people and things affect us. The Word of God tells us that if someone strikes us on the cheek, to offer the other cheek. That takes a BIG PERSON! Even if you're right, offer the other cheek: it's okay to offer the apology for the sake of peace, to speak even when not spoken to, to smile even when frowned at, to speak blessings even if they are speaking cursings. It is okay! Life is about being happy by pleasing God. Keep in mind, LIFE IS TOO SHORT.
I've purposed to live life to the full, until it overflows. I've purposed to make myself happy in Jesus. I've purposed to fulfill the most important principle in the Word of God, LOVE! I've purposed that I will not let ANYONE rob me of life ever again. What are you purposing in your heart right now? Remember, LIFE IS TOO SHORT.
I encourage you to readjust your focus and invest your energy into what really matters. If it's not prospering your life, let it go and leave it alone. We are on limited time in this earth realm. There has been a time appointed for life to end for each of us on this earth realm. Why waste it? Position yourself to hear God say "well done my good and faithful servant." Don't miss out on your opportunity to enjoy life. Remember, LIFE IS TOO SHORT.
