LIVING THIS LIFE

“There was another life that I might have had, but I am having this one.” Kazuo Ishiguro (Nobel Prize Author)

It seems to me that most us could say the same concerning our lives. The life ‘we might have had’ could have been a very different life either negative or positive. But the one we have is the one we are having. Therefore it is very important for us to live it as fully and deliberately as we can to the glory of God and our own fulfillment. We can’t go back and live what we have already lived and most of our shame and guilt is from dwelling on just that.

Our responsibility is to the moment…to now. We never fail until we stop trying. This starts when we stop looking back and looking straight ahead.

Like one guy said…”I started out with nothing and after many years I still have most of it.”

“Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.” Jesus
