"Now is the time..." I've pondered life long enough and the conclusion I've come to is that life under the sun is filled with vanity and vexation of spirit (special thanks to Solomon for writing this down). 8o)
Two objectives remain:
His commandments are just these two things:
These have been broad, nebulous concepts to me until very recently. Love, for anyone, is made up of actions that express that Love. It takes more than thoughts, and it even takes more than words. It takes life. All of it.
The Call to Action is this:
Carpe diem
Corum DEO
(Seize the day for God).
Today we have been given all that we need to succeed in the tasks we're given.
We have enough joy,
enough sadness,
enough pleasure,
enough pain,
enough strength,
enough weakness,
enough sun,
enough rain.
With Christ providing all that we need, we have only to Live out what He asks.
His Love constrains us. He will keep us focused. He will teach us as a Loving Father. He will not give us stones if we ask for bread. Our God shall supply all our needs.
So for today, I will live for Christ.
Today, I will Love.
Today, I will pray.
Today, I will live.
Today, dream
Today, act.
Today, walk.
Today, run.
That in nothing I should be ashamed.
Carpe diem
Corum DEO.
