Time

Life has been hectic lately, and it will continue to be so for a while longer. It made me think of how precious time truly is. The fact is at 42 years of age my life is probably well past half over. I have already lived a majority of my life. But I have to say that I am thankful that, with God, quantity of life is not the issue but quality. He has given me life eternal. This is something that I will not inherit when I die but have it now. I have an abundant life. It is blessed no matter how sour things get. But one thing is for certain, with time (and God's grace) comes change. One of my favorite Selah songs is "Timeless." The lyrics from this song truly express how I feel about the topic of time.

Time, it's changing me
It's hard to see who I am
Touched, I'm touched by many things
So many things I don't understand
But seasons pass and I discover
Above all this there's another
Helping me to hold on to what is timeless

CHORUS
So the autumn can color me gold
And the winter can dress me in snow
But it's You I see,
The timeless part of me
In the springtime I'm young once again
In the summer I dance on the wind
But it's You I see,
The timeless part of me

Change, whether it's good or bad
You know I'm glad You're in control
Oh Lord, if I don't understand
I know Your hand will shield my soul
Seasons pass and I discover
Above all this there's another
Helping me to hold on to what is timeless.

Of all the things in life I could hold on to, the one thing that I MUST hold on to is Christ, for He truly is timeless and above it all.
