Every second we age...the moment you finish reading this sentence, you've already aged. It's inevitable. It's unstoppable. When God started time in the beginning, it did not yet have the ageing effect...death was not yet introduced til eve listened to the devil and disobeyed the only commandment that was ever given. What happened next is history.
Now...we have no choice but to live with the fact that everyone will meet their own demise sooner or later. But then God sent His only begotten Son to give us hope that transcends the boundaries of our time here on earth. We are given the opportunity to live with an eternal purpose! Jesus Christ who was never bound with time in the beginning willingly entered our realm to take on the punishment for our sins so that our existence may have an eternal value. Jesus experienced a sudden demotion during his time here on earth...scripture even said that He emptied himself and did not use His deity to better Himself. All that He endured with us in mind.
Now, as we continue our journey in this death bound and cursed life...we have to live for Christ. The Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 1:21 that for him, living is Christ and dying is great gain! And the secret in getting through all the problems and predicaments life has to offer is a greater understanding of God,s grace! His GRACE is sufficient for us!
Yesterday, my grandmother turned 83. We celebrated her birthday in Loyola Memorial Park, Marikina City...where my grandfather is laid to rest. I can sense the sadness my lola (grandmother) is feeling...but I can see the grace of God in her life as she celebrates life! She understands the natural way of life...but she also recognizes a higher law governing everything in this world...and that's Grace!
Don't be caught up in the fast paced lifestyle of today...take time to realize the wonderful things God has provided...enjoy life...age with grace!
