this ‘life’ we like to talk about

I’m sure of only a cou­ple things, like Jesus, the cross, my adop­tion into God’s fam­ily.… he is the truth, he is life itself! … but what we like to call life… it’s just a vapor that is in the morn­ing but by when the sun rises fades away… we are just grass, are from dust and will return to dust. God is eter­nal, and one day I will be with him for­ever. Ah. That’s what I like to hear…

Our short stay on earth isn’t some­thing we have to con­quer and hold in our hands. God holds US in HIS hands, and he knows our frame, and he knows our path… and he plans our life, how then can I even think to com­pre­hend or weigh each days sig­nif­i­cance? But I know I am sig­nif­i­cant: he loves me and calls me by name.

Need to here the above, oth­er­wise you’ll find me cry­ing in self-pity over the small­est of inconveniences.

I wrote that in a recent email, and found it so encour­ag­ing to myself I had to share. ~sam
