Importance of Time

Time is limited for all of us and I think we spend so much time doing things that don't matter.  We all are called to be holy and I feel like God told us that for many reasons.  1)It gives us peace 2)It helps others to see Jesus in us 3) It helps us to be more humble 4) It helps us to grow. 5) It gives hope to others and 6) It keeps us focused so we can serve God.  There are so many more reasons but this is why we need to value our time, spend it wisely and be the peacemakers of the world.

If our goal is to be holy, we need to not think about ourselves and put God first.  That means sacrificing, doing things out of our comfort zone and working towards being that person for God. (That will give us peace and all will see Jesus in us)  We lack in many areas and I know in  my life, I try to recognize my weaknesses and do what I think God wants me to do to grow(That means being humbled in the process). Sometimes I fail but this is why we need each other to lift up and bring hope.  When problems arise and we need to make amends, it's very important to forgive if we're at fault and if we're not, still ask to talk about things to clarify.  I'm saying this because when we humble ourselves whether we're right or wrong and talk about things, it shows humility and the desire to make things right.  When we refuse to discuss things, it shows lack of care because we really don't know what that person is going through or dealing with at that time.  We all are called to Love and when we love and do what we know we're suppose to do, it keeps us focused towards holiness.

Sometimes we act out of anger and think that we're hurting others but in reality, when we don't forgive and don't humble ourselves so that people can see Jesus in us, we're really  hurting ourselves.  This is why we have to look at how we're spending our time, what's important and how we can become more holy on our journey because, real talk, we live and we die and we don't know what tomorrow may bring.

Let's re-evaluate what we're doing with our time, use it to make a difference in own lives and the lives of others and accept God's grace with compassion, appreciation, integrity and respect for all that He has done and is doing in our lives. 

Amen and Thank You Lord
