The moments though it seems like forever is just passing by. It is but a fraction of a lifetime and a dot in eternity. This minute part of our lifetime though it seems like expending much of our time and energy - is but a giving away of ourselves.
Yes, it is the essence of life - self donation, a gift of our selves. It may not be a fit to my dreams, plans, desires or even my will. It is a risk of not having a life of my own and a death to ourselves. Yet, it is a dying that is life giving because it is what God asked of me. And in doing God's will, there is love - only love. There is growth and not thwarted. It is giving without becoming needy.
It is the paradox of life and the mystery of love. Hidden and yet revealing.
It will pass but would I let this time be a chance to love and be a witness to love.
This fraction - this little bit of eternity, that is all being asked of me today.
Yes, it will pass but I can not pass up the opportunity to love.
