Today our precious granddaughter
is
365 days
or
52 weeks
or
12 months
or
1 year old!
Such a little time on earth,
yet she has captured our hearts from the very first time we met her face to face.
What if, when I asked you
"How old are you?"
you would answer like a new mom answers~
Well I am
21,451 days
or
3,064 weeks and 3 days
or
704 months and 24 days
or
21,451 days
or
514,844 hours
or
30,890,645 minutes
or
1,853,438,700 seconds old!
Yikes, I think I will stick to 58 years old.
And now I am one second older then I was when I wrote that.
Tick. Tick. Tick.
Time keeps a~ticking.
But what if
every day, every second
you could be
ONE.
It is possible because numbers don't matter ~
when you are
IN CHRIST.
Believing in JESUS as your SAVIOR
is just the
beginning of your story, not the end.
No matter what chapter you are living in right now~
chapter 1, 20, 56 or 100~
it doesn’t matter because
we become
AGELESS
when we say yes to JESUS.
Every second is a new beginning, as time ticks away~
"I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes IN ME will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing iIN ME will never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25-26).
Do you believe this?
"When someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand new person inside.
He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun!" (2 Corinthians 5:17)
That right at this moment you are
ONE second old
A new beginning. A do over. A fresh start~
Moving forward~
as yesterday is gone
but
Tick. Tick. Tick
new seconds arriving every second
as if it is
DAY ONE
"of the rest of your life"*
To begin again every second
like it is your
first day
because
"The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
HIS mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning;
great is YOUR faithfulness" (Lamentations 3:22-23)
Because of
HIS GRACE
HIS MERCY
&
HIS FAITHFULNESS
Every second is an opportunity
to
Begin again~
"But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which GOD has called me heavenward
IN CHRIST JESUS" (Philippians 3:13.)
To
live in the moment with eyes fixed
on the
ONE
Who has made you
ONE
again & again & again...
AGELESS.
Be a number today~
the number
ONE~
no matter how many
days, weeks, months, days, hours or seconds
the calendar tells you that you are~
by
becoming
ONE
with the
ONE
Who
has made you
AGELESS~
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16)
Because
Today is
*DAY ONE of the Rest of your Life (listen to the song below)
