THE MOMENT IN YOR HAND

GOD HAS GIVEN US LIFE TO LIVE.IT COMES TO US MOMENT BY MOMENT.WHEN ONE MOMENT PASSES OVER ANOTHER MOMENT IS PROVIDED US TO LIVE.

TIME HAS THREE PHASES PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE.IF LIFE IS COMPARED WITH AN HOURGLASS THE BOTTOM REPRESENTS PAST.IT CONTAINS MOMENTS WHICH WE HAVE ALREADY LIVED. UPPER PORTION CONTAINS THE MOMENTS WHICH ARE STILL TO COME. THIS IS FUTURE.THE SAND GRAIN PASSING THROUGH THE NARROW NECK OF HOURGLASS IS PRESENT.

THE PAST IS DEAD AND IS NEVER GOING TO RETURN.THE FUTURE IS UNKNOWN. WE PRACTICALLY CAN'T LIVE IN BOTH.WHAT WE HAVE TO LIVE IS OUR PRESENT. IF WE TRY TO LIVE EITHER IN PAST OR IN FUTURE WE WILL GET NOTHING BUT WILL WRECK OUR BODY AND MIND.

WHY GOD PROVIDES US LIFE IN MOMENTS. BECAUSE HE WANTS TO TEACH US LESSON THAT WE SHOULD BE SATISFIED WITH WHATEVER WE HAVE WITH US AND UTILIZE IT FULLY.WE SHOULD NOT PAIN OURSELVES FOR WE DON'T HAVE.BUT THE TRAGEDY OF HUMAN NATURE IS THAT HE NEVER SATISFIES WITH WHATEVER HE HAS.IN THIS WAY WE DON'T ENJOY OUR PRESENT BUT EITHER LAMENT FOR OUR PAST OR WORRY ABOUT OUR FUTURE.

IT IS NOT WISE TO DIG OUT BURIED PAST FOR OUR WRONG DOINGS AND REPENT UPON IT.IT CAN'T BE CHANGED.IF OUR HEART PAINS FOR THE PERSONS WE HAVE LOST THEN WE MUST REMEMBER THAT UNION AND SEPARATION IS PART OF LIFE. CRYING FOR DEPARTED SOULS CAN'T BRING THEM BACK.WE CAN LEARN LESSONS FROM OUR MISTAKES COMMITTED IN PAST AND CHERISH THE MEMORIES OF DEPARTED PERSONS IN OUR HEARTS.

THE FUTURE IS UNCERTAIN. WE HAVE NO CONTROL ON IT.THEREFORE WE SHOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT IT. WITH FULL FAITH IN GOD WE SHOULD FACE WHATEVER COMES TO US.AS THE BIBLE SAYS

"TAKE THEREFORE NO THOUGHT FOR THE MORROW FOR THE MORROW SHALL TAKE THOUGHT OF THE THINGS FOR ITSELF."

WE SHOULD SHIFT OUR FOCUS ON OUR PRESENT.BY AMENDING OUR WAYS IN PRESENT WE CAN WELCOME A GOOD FUTURE.PRESENT IS LIKE A FIELD WHICH CAN BE TILLED AND SEEDS CAN BE SOWED BY USING OUR PAST EXPERIENCES SO WE CAN HAVE GOOD HARVEST IN FUTURE.

LIFE IS A RIVER AND WE CAN ONLY SWIM WITH CURRENT OF PRESENT. NEITHER LIVE IN DREAMING ABOUT YOUR FUTURE NOR INCARCERATE YOURSELF IN YOUR PAST.LIVE IN YOUR PRESENT.

  

THE MOMENT IN YOUR HAND IS VERY PRECIOUS. UTILIZE IT, DON'T WASTE IT.
