BEING IN TUNE WITH THE TIME I HAVE RIGHT NOW I am faith-filled and fear-free because . . . I know what time it is!


I could be wrong.  In fact, I am willing to be wrong, but if my recollection serves me, I seem to remember that you have been talking about doing this or that for quite some time now.  Perhaps I am mistaken.  Maybe I have you confused now. Perhaps I am mistaken.  Maybe I have you confused with someone else. There are so many people who talk and never move, who wish and never act, who tell stories and never take risks, who wait until they are so  weighted down that they never get anything done.  I admit that it is quite possible that I thought that you were one of them.  Forgive me!

Just in case you are interested, if I were talking to one of those people, I would know exactly what to say.  I would make the point that they seem to always have a reason why not, rather than a motivation for why to. I would let them know that being beat down and beat up by their failed attempts seems to make them more comfortable than standing up and taking charge.  I would have absolutely no qualms about challenging those people to make their when now! To make their if happen!  To make their because disappear by doing what they can do right now! I would admonish them not to let when steal their right now!  I would encourage them not to allow if to hold them back!  I would ask them why they continue to allow suppose, what if, or only if, to stop them.  So please forgive me if I have mistaken you for someone else.  It's just that I thought I had already heard what you are saying.
   
Until today, you may have been paralyzed by when, if only, only if, or because.  Just for today, remember that now is the time! Make something happen in your life and for your life.

Today I am devoted to being in tune with the time I have right now!


From Until Today!
