Or maybe I should do something productive. How about a day to help the poor and needy in my community? Maybe it should be a world Armistice Day with no fighting allowed. But evidently there really is not any extra time. Of course, some people are saying it does not matter anyway since the world is apparently going to end this year. The Mayans made a calendar a long time ago that runs out of days this year. I need to know if that is right. After all, if this world is about to end there may be some things I would do differently. Be nicer. Or maybe be meaner.
It is very confusing. What do I do with my time? And how much time exactly do I have? What would you do if you knew exactly how much time you had left?
The truth is that I do not worry about how much time I have, or what to do with it. Those questions were answered for me when I became a Christian. My purpose in life is to use my time to glorify God by doing the good works God has planned for me. My life matters. I have a reason to get up and a reason for my life. I will spend whatever time I have in this life doing that.
So how long will I have to do it? I don’t know and I really don’t care. Either Jesus will come back to this world and take me to live with God forever, or I will die and go live with God forever. So how much time do I have? Forever. Some of it here, and the rest of it with God in heaven. And that is very liberating in terms of how I live my life.
