You Can't Keep That

My sister once told me, "You never own anything in this life. God gives it to you but you are only a tenant of it. It will soon be gone."

How do you treat your clothes? Do you throw them on the floor? Do you get them dirty and treat them like dirt?

What about your yard; Do you let weeds grow? Do you mow your lawn? Do you water your flowers?

What about time; Do you WISH you could have done something today but instead you were on facebook?

We waste so many things every single day. God gave you that shirt as a gift. He can easily not give you another one. Or what about that yard? You have been blessed to have a yard. A lot of people live on dirt in other countries and wish they could have a yard. But most importantly, time. Are you miserable with what you are doing? Your job?

Think about it this way.... once a minute goes by... you never get it back.

Ephesians 5:15-16
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.


Understand that your days are numbered. Are you living them how you know God wants you to?
