Past, Present and Future, Learning to invest in life 101

I have come across many people who never seem to be happy with where they are, whether that is wanting to be in the past or not wanting to move on, but most of the time it's about wanting to be in the future.  People always have this idea that if they are 10 years in the future then all their troubles will be taken care of.  We all know this can't be.  Our troubles cannot and should not be avoided, they help shape us, mold us, change us.  For the older man he doesn't want to face the fact that he isn't young anymore... Or the little boy frustrated with math and simply wanting to go outside and play.  We are all connected in this way that can't be explained other than the fact that we have a road to travel, we may never want it to end, or we are racing as fast as we can to get to the finish line.  But no matter what we are doing, we cannot not forget to stop every once in a while and pick a flower on the side of the road or simply talk to someone with you.  Because if you are consumed with getting it over with, than you are missing out on the whole picture!  We have to live this life to the fullest in order to understand eternity!  Don't you see, we mustn't live like it's a cheap memory or always wanting to be somewhere else.  Because in eternity we will always be living in the now,  That's why it's called eternity!  Yet we need to remember to not be careless with what we have, that brings us back to our troubles.  Face the tough times with head held high, because my friends, we are living in glorious times.  The day you accept who you were, who you are and who you will be is the day that God will most be glorified in you.  Past, Present and the Future is something we must take as a whole and not individually.

So my friends, I leave you this, one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands, it is a good adaptation to what I've been talking about, really it's about where you invest your love in life that truly matters in the end and we can only know love through Christ.

 "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."

Let us now invest love in our past, present and future so that we can know true happiness in Christ. 

Good night my friends.
