TIME

If I remember right, that was year 2006, I was once asked in an interview if what is my weakest link and I answered without any hesitation, it's my TIME. Then she said, so are you willing to take this job since time is very important here, I forgot what I answered but what I can remember was that she said, something about overcoming it. Truly, right now, my management in my time is progressively improving though it may not be perfect but it's going there.

TIME is one of the most precious thing in this world. As the saying says, "TIME IS GOLD". It is right, time is really gold. How we manage it and prioritize things take part in overcoming it. When it pass through us, we can never take it back. It is gone. With all that is happening in our world today, the crisis, the calamities, etcetera, we sometimes forget what is really important in our lives and we also forget to give time to that important thing.

As for me, the most important thing in my life is my relationship with Jesus and everything follows. Since it is a relationship it needs time. In my church family, we are encouraged to take time to pray, to communicate with God everyday, to give a tithe (10%) of our devotional time for a start. It's really not that easy at first because my flesh is not used of doing it but thank God, right now I'm making progress. We are not really obliged though, it's a free will thing.

One thing that I admired in making time with God is Daniel in the Old Testament. Daniel prayed to God three times a day. I think he believes that since our human body needs to eat three times a day to be healthy and functional, so is our soul. When Jesus was tempted by Satan, he said that, "it is written, Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God".

There is time for everything, for family, friends, work or business, rest, ........ everything. Now I realized why there is twenty-four hours in a day. Let us not waste time on things that will not last. Invest time for God now, it's worth it, even more! Taking time for God needs a step of faith. Make your step now and God will meet you. Like the lyrics of the song says, He who began a good work in us will be faithful to complete it! Below is the lyrics of the song by youtube, let us sing for the love of our God.
