Time

First of all, God is INFINITE. I am but a created entity.
Hello. My name is TIME. Everyone knows but does not understand me.
I am often understood as a CLOCK that's TICKING. They have heard talk of me being ETERNAL for some.
They have theories of my origin and facts of my destiny

It is not my purpose here to be revealing of that part of me.
Let's just say that I am a lot like you relative to creativity. I am able to reproduce myself and share my life with you.
I am able to proportionately distribute equal amounts of me daily. However, I am able to be discriminating with individuals over a lifetime.
To a new-born, I might give a total of 24 hours with her parents on this earth. To another, I might grant 100 years or more with no exact or precise reason.

I have never tried to please everyone in this regard because it's just not possible. There are those who long for more and others suffering terminal illness pleading for less of me. I learned long ago that life is not about fairness, and we can't always explain everything in life. I do know that life is a lot about discovering what our creator had in mind when he made us. Some discover early on, and others seem to never discover it and run out of me. All I can say here is that God has assigned me the task of issuing out myself, and I do my best.

So, my friend, my best advice to you is to appreciate the PRESENT; do not allow the PAST to bind you. This now MOMENT is ever moving and ever linked to the future, pleading for you to release the reigns of yesterday and believe for a brighter tomorrow where God awaits to reward you for your faithfulness. I have heard talk of a period when there will be "Me No More." Enjoy me now.
