The mystery of Life!

A few days I visited an old man in hospital and when driving back certain verses flashing in my mind. It was one of my favorite verses found in Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven….”. Life's changes are consistently or constantly reminders of the brevity of life, and the speed at which life passes. The reminiscent of flash back of the loved ones that had passed away. Celebrating our birthday with gladness without knowing we are one year nearer to our grave. Thinking of what next resolution to take on the eve of the each new year. Isn’t it ironic?

Of course, James was right when he said,” Life is but a vapor that appears for a short time and then vanishes away" (James 4:14). This was the verse that was mentioned when I came to know the Lord. It was the verse that reminds me about what life's lessons I have learned from yesterday, they were:

-the best time of my or your life.
-cherish the moments love ones, friends and relatives.
-moments of success or failure.
-never to waste any seconds or minutes away.

Life is but only a vapor when you:

-lose sight of your goal.
-never finish what you set out to accomplish.
-always complaining and not thanking.
-heart that is filled with hate and not love
-not knowing you are always being graded.

Finally, let use time well than when it is time of us to go back to our Lord with the last breath we can say our life in this world is well cherished. When confronting God Himself, we will be welcomed with "Well done, faithfully servant!" What else more do we want from that... Let us live the best of what life has to offer us now and never to regret any moments because everything has it own understandings.
