A Vapor...
Today I have been thinking about our lives and how they are so small compared to eternity. We only have a few years on this earth, it's crazy how we can get so caught up in the here and now and forget that it doesnt really matter because this is but a drip compared to the ocean of eternity. It also made me wonder, what am I really doing with it? It is a precious gift God has given me in order that I might use it for His glory to, in a small way, give Him a little back for all He has done for me. My life could be taken away tomorrow and I think I would be ashamed that I wasted so much of my life on me and accomplishing my will and pleasing myself instead of doing that which is truly necessary, the only thing that will last, getting to know my Savior. It is a sobering thought...are we living for this life or the one that will last forever? Praise God for His neverending grace and mercy which allows us a new chance to live for Him! There is so much to do and so little time...
