Those who see Jesus are also able to see the brevity of life.
Soldier of The Cross, while it is a good thing to be sensible and moderate, it is more essential to see that time passes quickly with no opportunity to recapture it.
When we are with Him, we will see that life was as long as a snap of the fingers.
The beautiful thing is, we are given choice each hour and each minute. Those choices will be reflected eternally.
This is not paranoia, it is truth.
Go farther than you feel.
Give more than you have.
Pray about everything. Aloud.
Resist passivity.
Press hard into laying your life down for the Brethren.
Sing when things appear the darkest.
Touch those you find the most unlovely.
Soldier, you must buy up the time.
