"All we have to decide, is what to do, with the time that is given to us"
We all have a limited time on earth, to accomplish great tasks appointed to us by the Lord. Has he ever punished us for not accomplishing what we were capable of? And why do i like this verse so much? It means a lot to me. Time... The most important thing we have the moment we are born! Why do i think so? Well.. I would be contented to live 80 years. And say we sleep 8 hours a day? That is 2/3 the time we actually have to accomplish great things and bring joy to life. We have 30000 days in total, 1/3 goes into sleeping and we have 20000 days left! That is 480000 hours... Look at that number... 24 less every day... Thus time is a very important element. We spend time staring at space and thinking about foolish things like how stupid we are or our sins. Why don't we spend time thinking/deciding how to improve our own and others' lives? Like we always say, do not look back. What's the point of looking back at our sins and guilt? God forgives one of even the most sinful things you can imagine, as long as one is sincere about repentance. "God is a gracious god." The time we have is limited. We do not want to regret after we have completed the race god has sent us to end, instead, want others to remember your achievements and determination. Like a runner sent to run in the Olympics. I once heard about this runner who was running a marathon. Halfway through, he fell and severely injured his legs. Despite that, he continued to limb to his goal and why? Why did he do that for? Why didn't he just give up halfway? He finally completed the race after almost everyone have left. He finally collapsed at the finishing line. Reporters were curious to know why he did not just give up midway, and this was what he told them, "My country didn't send me 1000 miles to start this race, but my country have sent me 1000 miles to finish it." I was deeply motivated when i heard it. I don't want to give up on anyone. Everyone has hope. Every one of us deserves to hope, to dream and to achieve. It all depends on one to accomplish great things. Nothing will be impossible, as long as one dares to dream. There is always a person who achieves. The greatest secret behind it i believe is to dare to dream. As long as there is hope, and that hope is manipulated, not left behind. All i want to tell you all is... Don't give up on yourself, because God will never give up on you.
