Life is To Short
Life is to short to lost time. Life is to short to lost time. Losting time to learning about things. Life is here. Life is there. Life is now.
Life is learning about you. Learning about are glory. Learning about are savior. Learning about are lord. Learning about are god.
Oh mighty one, oh mighty lord. You died and rise again. You take are sin away.
We keep on learning about you. Life is here. Life is there. Life is now. Life is to short. But Life is now.

that's beautiful simply
ReplyDeleteYeah, it is.
ReplyDeleteLife is now. I keep thinking about how little blaming Jesus did. Wait, I can't think of one time Jesus actually said anything was anyone's fault. Even when he was baited, "Which one sinned that this man was born blind?" he refused to stoop to it. You could even say that the very message of Jesus (the unspoken Message) was that it's not about who's fault it is--I WANT YOU BACK! I think the best Jesus said about living now was with the story of the so-called prodigal son. The older brother makes his objections but it's like it doesn't even register with the father--the father is consumed by the now.
ReplyDeleteHenri Nouwen says it this way--
How do we welcome home our lost brothers and sisters? ... most important of all, by not asking for excuses or explanations, only showing our immense joy that they are with us again ... That is being perfect as our heavenly Father is perfect. It is forgiving from the heart without a trace of self-righteousness, recrimination, or even curiosity. The past is wiped out. What counts is the here and now, where all that fills our hearts is gratitude for the homecoming of our brothers and sisters.
The past is wiped out, but I would even say the future is wiped out. Jesus' father gives no trace of "Well I forgive you, but we need to have an understanding of how this is going to go in the future."
Life is short. Life is now. Beautiful. Life is as short as now is.
