Secrets of Divine Love - A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam - A. Helwa
Dying
1. First I was dying to finish high school and start college.
And then I was dying to finish college and start working.
Then I was dying to marry and have children.
And then I was dying for my children to grow old enough so I could
go back to work. But then I was dying to retire.
And now, I am dying . . . And suddenly I realized I forgot to live.
Please don’t let this happen to you. Appreciate your
current situation and thank God for the good and bad in
your life. If you are living for God, your current
situations are working for good.
Remember that everyday is a day of thanksgiving. Give
God the praise for what he is doing in your life right
now. Perhaps something is amiss or has gone awry, but
the Lord is still in charge and he has promised never to
leave you nor forsake you. The song declares that, “This
Too Shall Pass”, because God is working it out for you.
While you are in the now, God is in the NOT YET!!!
