Matthew 5:18



“For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.”
                These words that speak of the end give me a shocking sense of finality. I have days sometimes where I look around and I get a momentary shock of reality, but not this reality. I suddenly remember more than usual that one day I will no longer be here. I will no longer be on this earth. I will close my eyes on this world and open them in the heavenlies. I won’t go to Starbucks, or do school, or talk to friends, or grow anymore, I won’t cry, I won’t be in this body… I won’t be here anymore. I’ll open my eyes to something completely beautiful, and full of joy.
                But until then…
                Not one jot or tittle will pass from the law, until all is fulfilled. All of the Bible, all that was said… not until the very last “Amen.” We should live accordingly.
                I keep hearing something I learned the other day. “This is your one chance in all eternity to make a difference for Jesus. Use it well.”
                Today, I will pray for ten minutes after each meal today for God to open my eyes and to prepare me for the field.
