TIME

When you were young, you thought that you would never be a teenager.  The minutes in your pre-teen years seemed to pass so slowly.  Now when you are older, time seems to just fly by.  The clocks have not changed, but your view of time has changed.

When I was born on earth, I enjoyed times with My family.  Then it was time to begin the ministry My Father assigned to Me.  Those days of ministry were both filled and fulfilling.  I did and said only what I saw My Father do and what I heard My Father say.  Those three and one half years seemed to pass quickly.  Then when I hung on the tree to bear the sins of the world, time stood still for Me.
However, it was the joy that was set before Me that caused Me to willingly face the agony of My crucifixion.

When you accepted Me as your Lord and Savior, you entered the realm of eternity where there is no time or space.  It is a temptation for you to count minutes and hours, but I want you to keep your focus on Me, not the clock.  Every minute you are alive on earth is precious to Me because during those moments in time, I will use you for My glory as you yield to Me moment by moment.  Always remember that each moment you breath is a moment for ministry.  I only had three and a half years to fulfill the ministry My Father gave Me on earth, but you have many more years to minister.  Whoever you are face to face with or whoever you talk with by phone or write is your ministry.  People are the ministry.  Enjoy your moments and enjoy the ministry of the moment.
