Time Well Spent

 I have always had a hard time understanding men love drinking or getting high so much.  I don't get why men love to sit and watch football for several hours at a time.  I never understood how men can sit and play a video game for hours and hours either.  

But I guess it's just hard to figure out what to do with life sometimes.  Not many people know what their calling is; why they were created.  What were we created to do with all our time? 

So many people just waste time in any way they can.  I heard a great quote, "You cannot waste time without killing eternity."  This could relate to our rewards in heaven.  If you kill time and aren't investing in your calling from God for your life, this will diminish your rewards in heaven.  Jesus says we will have to give an account for every idle word we speak.  Maybe we will have to explain every minute we wasted doing stupid things as well.  

Every minute of your life matters.  Most don't realize that, but it does.  It could matter to someone else.  Get your mind off yourself for one second.  Who else could be blessed by you talking to them for the next few minutes?

Your life isn't just about you.  You weren't just created for yourself.  You were created to bless others.  To help make others happy.  To help make God happy.  

I know it seems like God doesn't need anything from us, but he does very much want for us to be happy.  Go make someone happy today.  Do something or say something that would make someone else happy.  

You do not exist only for yourself.  Be a blessing to someone else today. :)
