Our time on earth is short and precious from "summary" of Crazy Love by Francis Chan
Our lives on this earth are fleeting. Time is slipping away, moment by moment. We go about our days, consumed by the busyness of life, often forgetting the brevity of our existence. We fill our hours with tasks and distractions, thinking we have all the time in the world. But the truth is, our time here is limited, and it is running out. In the grand scheme of eternity, our time on earth is like a mere blip on the radar. It is a tiny fraction of the endless expanse of time that stretches before us. Yet, in this short span of time, we have the incredible opportunity to make a difference, to impact the world around us, and to live a life that truly matters. When we realize the preciousness of our time here, it changes the way we live. We are no longer content to waste our days on trivial pursuits or selfish ambitions. Instead, we are compelled to live with a sense of urgency, to make every moment count, and to invest our time in things that have eternal significance. In the face of our mortality, we are forced to confront the reality of our own limitations. We are reminded that we are not in control of our destiny, and that our time here is a gift that can be taken away at any moment. This awareness should drive us to live with a sense of purpose and intentionality, making the most of every opportunity that comes our way.- The brevity of our time on earth should inspire us to live with a sense of urgency and passion. It should compel us to seek out ways to make a difference, to love others well, and to leave a lasting impact on the world around us. Our time here is short and precious – let us make the most of it while we can.
