Every single grain of sand that falls in the hourglass of your life is a gift from God to be used for good. You can’t regain or recycle what has been used. You can’t get more than what remains. You can’t be sure when the last grain will fall. The days are long, but the years are short; the days drag on, but the years fly by. While there is still time, spend it on the things that matter most, the things that matter for eternity, the things that matter to God. You will never regret the unwasted life of prioritizing, pursuing and proclaiming Jesus to a darkened world that desperately needs the light you can hold out to it. What immeasurable bliss awaits when the last grain drops, and you hear Him say, “Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of your Master.” Until that day arrives, don’t put off until another day what God has given you to do with this day. Live every day as if it were your last one on earth; someday if will be.
