The simplicity of that statement amazes me. It is so simple, yet so life changing. We do only have one life to live. For some of us, we are extremely lucky to literally get a second chance at life, but most of us have one life to live, and one life to give. Ya see, I feel like we get so caught up in the day to day drag of everyday life that we forget to focus on the things in life that truly matter. We almost treat each day as a "trial run" of life, and then when it starts to count, then I'll start to give everything to God, but for now- I am too busy...how many have said that? We say, for now, I'm going to do it my way...and eventually we will get around to God's way.
I want to encourage you, as you read this, remember, no one is promised tomorrow, no one is promised their next breath, and so do not take it for granted! Remember, we truly do only have ONE life to live...and ONE life to give to God. What is holding you back from giving everything you have to God? The Bible says in John 10:10, "the Devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Jesus says, "I have come to give YOU LIFE, and life to the FULL." Jesus wants you to take the one life you have been given and return it back to Him as an offering to Him, and He promises us that in return, He will give us life to the FULL. It's the promise of God.
The next breath you are about to take is sacred, treat it that way. The next day you are about to live is precious, treat it that way. The ONLY life you have is precious and sacred, treat it that way. Praying for you.
Be Blessed,
Toe's
