Hey there, friend. Have you ever stopped to think about how short our lives really are? In the grand scheme of things, we’re just a tiny vapor, here one moment and gone the next like dust blowing in the wind. But you know what? That thought shouldn’t depress you. It should motivate you! Let me tell you why.
1 Corinthians 7:29 says, “But this I say, brethren, the time is short.” So I didn’t put time into motion. I’m simply a part of the ticking.
First, thinking about how brief our lives are can help us put things into perspective. We get so caught up in the pleasures of this world that we forget they’re only temporary. It’s like a sculpture made of ice, it’s beautiful for a moment, and then it’s gone. So why waste our time chasing after things we can’t keep? We should focus on what matters, like contentment and the things that will carry us to heaven.
