Look around you woman, and you cannot help but see four very ordinary things in your life. At least they are ordinary in a woman’s world. That’s a calendar, thank God for cell-phones nowadays, definitely a lip-gloss and some flowers.
Of all these the calendar is my favourite and this is why!!!!
The calendar marks each day’s activities, it helps you prioritise, and serves as a counting guide for some important time to come. How else would you be able to know which day you are in, how many days are rapidly disappearing, how much further you need to stretch your grocery money and most importantly prioritise and plan your life?
Oh yes , you have probably just realised that you do have a calendar close at hand , so you look at it and the next time you set your eyes on it I dare you note the days you ‘ve already checked off this week, this month, this year. Look at those days of your life and know that they’ll never be yours again. Let me dare you again and say consider the days of your lifetime that are gone; so many days when you and I were happy in the completeness of God’s love, or so many days when we were miserable without Him; so many days when we pulled others down or lifted them up, the fact remains those day are gone forever.
Do you see what I am trying to say? It is not “time to be fearful, woman but to wake up”- you and, me alike! God has given us today. Make it count and count for something lasting and real!” I employ you search woman, search, and you you’ll eventually come up with this unchanging answer- the only thing in life that is lasting and real is God and His boundless love for YOU. Everything else changes, everything else ends and trust me everything else will leave you alone. So I have discovered and accepted that there is an urgency about finding Him. Time does not wait for us to discover the priceless pearl and life will not stand still until we decide that what we are living for is not worth dying for. I am aware of the chaos and sadness that at times overwhelms our lives, from financial struggles, delay, wayward children and the lot. BUT let me remind you that your life is greater than money, husbands, a picket fence and beautiful kids. You are so much more....Girl, your father is a king and you are a princess, your eternal home is a real castle! Jesus, your family and girlfriends think the world of you. So every time you look at that calendar say within your mind and heart I must be seeking God NOW, LOVING, and PUBLISHING HIS WORD AND LOVE.
