Since the passing of my uncle, one thing that has changed in me is my perspective on life. Some people say "Life is short, live every day as if it were your last." Life isn't what's short, though. Life, true life, is eternal, forever. Time is what is short. Time for choice. In Life there will be no time and no choice only eternity. Now we have time and choice. Now we can choose God or the world. Those who do not choose God will never have Life, only Death. That is why time is so important. Even though I have chosen God, there are still times when I choose the world in a small way. When I make selfish choices and neglect love. Every time I choose the world, I invest in something that will die. Every time I choose God (in a small way) I invest in something that will grown and last forever. Something I can lay at His feet for His glory. I only have a little time, and then I will have true Life.
That's why, even though my world is different without Uncle Chuck, I don't despair, because the time I have without him is short. The Life I will share with him is forever.
That's why I'm not afraid to go wherever God sends me, because the time I have to endure suffering and sacrifice is short. The Life that I have be before the Lord is forever. I want to come before Him with full hands, to many crowns at His feet. I want to help others make the choice while they still have time, so that in the end, they can have Life.
