Life and death. "Death is a certainty, life is an option." An option within my reach. An opportunity, amazing blessing, gift from above. Right in the palm of my hands, right in front of me, right here.
So why is this that I wait to live? Live my life. Doing what I am put on this earth to do. To share God's love, His Word, teachings. And I live my life according to that. Instead I find happiness in money, fame, drugs, when those things aren't even close enough to please me. When those things can only really bring me down. When those things even won't last.
I fit into the mold people around have shaped for me. And while I try to satisfy others, fit in, act cool. Time passes by, constantly. Never missing a beat.
I wait for tomorrow to do things I can do today. And while I wait, the young ones turn into young once. After all, this life I have here on earth? Can never be replayed, never be rewinded. Parts can’t be deleted, erased. I can only press play. And let the seconds, hours, days, months, and years flow by, because this life I am living now can only be lived ONCE.
I need to know now to stop dwelling in the past, and thinking too ahead in the future but to focus on the present, this gift.
I need to stop thinking about looking ridiculous in front of others. Because what may look ridiculous in the world’s eyes, may not be in God’s.
And so where do I think I’ll be after this life? Of course, death is a certainty. And I only live this life once. So now I know that I am never too late to start living life right. Because with God, “It isn’t who you were that matters, it’s who you are becoming.” But I’ll remember that I can’t do it alone. The one person who will ALWAYS be with me. The person who won’t ever let me down. And the one I need is waiting to come into my life and into my heart.
