1 Chronicles 29:15
We are here for only a moment, visitors and strangers in the land as our ancestors were before us. Our days on earth are like a shadow, gone so soon without a trace.
Life can seem so long, day after day. At times it is hard to believe that we are here for but a moment. Like a shadow, gone without a trace. If that's true then our time here is so important. How many days have I let slip by to fade away like the morning mist never to get them back. This last week has gone by and I look back and have nothing. Seven days of my life gone with no lasting impact. How many people did I come across that I will never see again? Did my silence leave a hole in their lives that God would have had me fill? I can never know the answer to that but I should live my life in such a way that people are changed by having been in my presence. I want my life to so reflect God, in both my joy and in my sorrow that people will be drawn to Him. So today my hope for you is that you will make this day count. That at the end of this 24hrs lives will be different because God touched lives through you.
Gone so soon, without a trace
Are our days here on the earth.
Are lives are like the morning mist
Which fades with burning sun.
They slip away, I can not hold
The days have come and gone
Like shadows quickly fading
When clouds obscure the sun.
How much have I left behind
How much have I lost?
There were so many times
I could have been your voice.
Help me Jesus, hold me close
May I live each precious day.
A reflection of your glory
to help others find the way.
