I won't waste another second
All I want is to give you
A life well lived, to day "thank you"
I want to live like there's no tomorrow
Love like I'm on borrowed time
It's good to be, it's good to be alive
~ Good to be Alive by Jason Gray
I am really sorry that it has been about 2 weeks since I have written last. There have been many things that I have had to do and just really haven't had much time to relax and think about life. I have been so stressed with a lot of school work and also with other things going on in my life and many thoughts running through my head. The song Good to be Alive is a great song and a great reminder to me. It is one that every time I hear I really think about the words and try to think about my life for a little bit. We get so many things in life and sometimes we forget to stop and thank God for ALL that He has given to us.
The song says "I want to live like there's no tomorrow Love like I'm on borrowed time." That part of the song is how I want to live. I know it isn't how I live, but I wish that it were. I love God and I know He loves me, but I don't feel like I live everyday like there is no tomorrow. Where I am at in life, I seem to always be looking to the future and thinking about many things that are going to happen. I am always doing homework for the next day or even a few days away, I am thinking of what I have going on over the weekend and what homework I can do during the weekend, and I am thinking about when is the next time that I am going to get to see certain people that I haven't seen in quite a while. I know that I wouldn't get by if I didn't think ahead and didn't do these things, but what I really need to do is think about each moment and not take it for granted. I need to remember that we aren't ever promised a tomorrow, but that each tomorrow is a great gift from God. I want to be able to live my life where I don't hold back and I do everything to the best that I can and I want to live for God and praise and glorify Him in everything that I do.
He gives us so much and so we should use the abilities that He has given us and show His love to others. I want to be able to love others without thinking twice. Often times, even though we shouldn't, we judge people for things (some of which we don't even realize) and so we may not love them like we should. The way that we should love is because of the great love that God has for us. We should try to love others like that, even though it isn't possible because His love is the greatest. He gives us the ability to love so we should want to spread that love with others and not hold any of it back. If we see someone who is struggling or just isn't having a great day, we could do a small little thing such as holding a door for them or smiling at them and by that small act we could be showing God's love. I truly hope that I can try to do these things and I hope that I can show God's love to others as best as I am able to do.
Remember that each day is a gift and we never know when we may not have a tomorrow so we should live as if there isn't one and live to glorify God in all that we do.
