Tempus fugit et nos fugimus in illus.

There is nothing more intensely stirring to the senses than the aura of candlelight offset by the glow of the computer screen in front of me.

It's easy to contemplate things like life, eternity, values, and time because there doesn't seem to be another living soul in the world to bring me back to reality.

I think one of my greatest fears has been that I will somehow mess up God's plan for my life. I know that God has His best for me, but somehow, I've always had this idea that its realization is contingent upon me "being good". Like a child before Christmas, I had the idea that if I wasn't good, I wouldn't get presents. Over a passage of time, I'd get tired of being good; I just knew that I'd mess up something irrevocably.

Yet "we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

But here's something better.

No matter how much I may change over time, God will not.
God is not limited, or constrained by time. Why? He created it. Time did not exist before the earth was created. The evening and the morning were the first day.

So let's put this all in context, shall we?

If time is a measurement of change and God never changes, then that which God has set in eternity cannot be undone through the process of time.

Hence, what God has foreordained will happen regardless of trivial circumstance.

I don't have to worry about messing up irrevocably, about time passing me by, or about the possibility of missing His best.

God is always on time.



On a lighter note, I wonder if we'll have to use past, present, and future verbs in heaven?
