So many of us have said at least one time or another, “If I could, I would have, or should have.” We
only get one time around, one shot at this life. Jason Gray wrote, “I wanna live like there’s no tomorrow, love
like I’m on borrowed time..."
Don’t
take this life for granted, not one day, or even one second. “Every day
that we wake, every breath that we take, He’s given.” Just watch the news, and it could worry you sick. I know that I am
guilty of worry at times, but I thank God it doesn't hold me captive
like it use to. So much time is wasted on worry, and things that are out
of our control. Worry isn't going to change a thing. We are only
wasting every minute of the day God’s given.
We
really are on borrowed time. The older I get, the more I realize this. I
know that’s why I call my family every day, even if it’s not for
anything but just to say hi, and know that God has given me another day
to hear their voices. Every time I hang up the phone, I say thank you to
God.
It’s such a sad thing when
you hear people say, “I wish I could have another day to say all the
things I should have, or just to hear their voice.” We have to realize
we only have this one day. There may not be tomorrow, or the next
minute. I try to live a life of no regrets.
I know I am not free from the sorrow that comes in this life, or from the evil choices people make that cause others pain. It's possible to be, "Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything." (2 Corinthians 6:10). The one thing I do possess, and that is everything to me, is Jesus Christ my Savior! Remember Psalm 30:5, “Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.”
You may not be given tomorrow, so start to care about every minute of the day God has gifted you with.
"Rejoice in the Lord!" (Philippians 3:1).
"Rejoice always." (1 Thessalonians 5:16).
"I will say it again: Rejoice!" (Philippians 4: 4).
