Don't waste your life.

In the United States the average age of a man's life is 76 and the average age a woman lives is 81. 

So with that in mind how old are you? 

What have you done with your life?

More importantly, what are you doing with your life? 

James 14:4 says it this way, "“yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.”

We are going to die! No way around it no way to avoid it. We can prolong our lives, but in the end death will call us. It's time for us to quit living our lives for ourselves. Time is so short, I'm 47 years old and if I manage to live to 81; I'm more than halfway there. There's nothing I can do about the things in my past. 

In he past I've shared last with our church, "the purpose of the rearview mirror is not to show you what's ahead but what you're leaving behind."

Let us not live our lives for ourselves and our own purpose. Don't let us live our lives bound to our past failures, or our past successes!  Instead, take up the cause of Jesus Christ!  Let us live our lives to be a blessing to our God.  One day soon we will stand before him, and give account for the short little puff of smoke that is called our life. May our lives count for something. Stop wasting your talent! So many people are so gifted, and I watch them as they waste their life trying to obtain happiness here in this life that will only last for a moment. Spend your life... spend it till there's nothing left to further the kingdom of God; and in the end you will gain real life.  For when we close our eyes for the last time and breathe our final breath here on this earth, we will open our eyes in real life and breathe in God's breath in a brand-new existence. Hope you have a great week! 

Much love and prayers.
