Tomorrow

I started thinking about tomorrow. Tomorrow, the day that never seems to get here. What if tomorrow someday arrived. Try to imagine that, without hurting yourself. What would we do, what would we say? Would we just pretend it was today and say that we would do it tomorrow? Would we act like there was so much time and so much to do, I will do that later? It is sad to think in such a way. Today we seem to think that by grasping a hold of tomorrow we will control all time. But what about today? Today is the time of extreme importance. We have no guarantee that will go to college, then get a doctorate, get married of two children, and the retire in Sunny Valley. Our time is now. How can we even worry? Can we not trust got with our checking account? Can we not live out our day as if there was no tomorrow, for there is no tomorrow to lose? This point brings up another point, living for each other. I can see now, that complete individual independence is impossible and impractical. It is also unbiblical. There is the notion of complete surrender to God which can turn into surrender to others. Are we doormats? Are we dirt? I can answer that it is questionably so depending on the circumstance. It depends in that we must be willing. This does not necessarily mean wanting to be the doormat, which is cause for psychological help of some degree, but willingness. Willigness is the denial of what a true human would want considering the circumstance. That want must be put on the back burner. We come into the church wanting to control, we enter into relationships wanting love. That is purely human. Human love, however, is prone to hate when it approaches resistance. This means that if we are denied our dreams for the church or do not recieve the love we want, then our hearts turn dark. This moment is a good time for the allowance of Godly love, which is all loving and all sacrificing for the will of God first, and the Body of Christ and other individual believers second. This is quite a concept of seizing the day. To truely remember that we must be servants when called upon is truely contradictory to what America believes. Maybe it is time to question and possibly contradict the American culture and the World in order that our Body(the Universal Church) may strong and uncompromising in the Truth.
