ONLY THIS

The past is past
The now is now
The present is present
Only this

One minute is one minute
One hour is one hour
One day is one day
Only this

Yesterday is yesterday
Tomorrow is tomorrow
Today is today
Only this

We are where we are
We are not where we have been
We are not where we are going to be
Only this

What’s over is over
What’s under is under
What’s through is through
Only this

All time is quality time
All time is quantitative
All time is all time
Only this

Right now is Right now
Not yet is not yet
Has been is has been
Only this

What is first is first
What is last is last
Jesus, the Alpha and Omega
Only this

“So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” Jesus
