My life is short. My life is fragile.

My life is a tiny flicker of light that can be extinguished in an instant.

Your life can, too.

This fact was emphasized once again to me one year ago when I was told my husband could have died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. He could have died in the emergency room.

It was very possible that I could have been coming home alone.

God tells us through Isaiah that ‘Surely the people are grass. The grass withers and the flowers fade but the Word of our God endures forever.” Isaiah 40: 7 & 8.

Forever.

When I sit here with my Bible open on my lap, I am letting the only truth of all the ages soak into my mind. God’s Word has been the one thing that is right and good since time began. How amazing that this is so readily available to me every hour of every day!

How amazing that the Eternal Creator of the Universe speaks to me personally through these words!

How amazing that this entire book is a love story written to me by God. It’s God’s revelation of how much he loves me and you.

My life is short and fragile and just a small flicker of light in the big picture. I’m so glad that I know that my Father God sees me as his precious daughter who is so important to him that he made a way that I could live with him in my forever home in heaven.

My life is but a nanosecond in time on this earth, but God sees me and loves me….

and that makes all the difference.

Thank you, Abba Father.
