It seems that time is slipping away. Our lives are short, and time gets away from us. That happens to me a lot. I realize that months have passed since I said I would blog regularly or paint or do something else that I love. Why do we do that? We let moments slip away from us, and then we find ourselves wanting the time we had back. This year, 2020, has been a significant reflection year for me. I am mostly asking myself hard questions about God and my faith, about what is next for me in my career or ministry. Life seems to slip away. But man, thinking about eternity.
How miraculous that if we choose to follow Christ with our lives, we will spend eternity with him. I ponder that so much, especially lately, in a year filled with chaos and destruction, I remember God's significant beauty in all of this. I remember that because I trust in Him, I will get an eternity with Him. Eternity is not far off. Not to sound morbid, but I could wake up in Heaven tomorrow. The truth is we really don't know, and that can be extremely scary but also so beautiful. God's deep desire for all of us is for us to reunite with Him when we die. I look forward to that day, but I serve Him with my life here on Earth while I can. So, I've been in reflection mode. I've been thinking about how I can serve God better. At times I really feel like my faith is not good enough. I want to listen intently to the Holy Spirit. I want a refreshing of my soul. A lot of people start the New Year off right, in the Word of God and prayer. I've been thinking a lot about ending the year right too. I want to begin my year with Jesus, and I want to live each day of each year for Him. Time is fleeting. I don't want it to pass by without actively listening to God. So, that is my new focus, actively listening to the Lord for His trustworthy guidance and counsel.
