Everyone who enters the world will one day leave the world too. We come empty-handed, and we’ll leave bringing nothing with us. Our time is short, and we’re merely ‘guests’. The world is not our home.

The Bible says in Job 14:1-2 :
“Man who is born of woman lives only a short time and is full of trouble. He grows up and dries like a flower. He leaves like a shadow and does not stay.”

Jacob, the son of Isaac and the father of Joseph, felt how ‘his time is short, and his life is full of bitterness’.

Queen Victoria, who’s considered one of the most powerful figure in the history of British empire, also once said : ‘how great is my glory, how big is my power, but how short is my life’.

Unfortunately, it is somehow more common to have such thoughts and reflections on life ONLY WHEN one is near the END of life itself (like the case of Queen Victoria)

…

IF we knew we were to leave this world soon, how would you feel? What thoughts would cross your mind?

Have you lived your whole life responsibly? What have you done so far? Do you know where you’re going next? Have you lived and glorified your Creator, living a life that’s according to His original ‘plan’?

Let’s NOT wait till we’re near the end of our own life to decide how we should’ve lived more responsibly every day.

Let’s start with such a reflection TODAY.
