Many (three to be precise) of the people I know today are celebrating their birthday and I've just realized that they all spent their day in different ways.
Unwittingly, this made me think that each of them had his/her own priorities in life. And that how they spent their special days, somehow, reflected what these are. How we spend our respective special days depicts ours too.
What this tells us is that what we prioritize the most reflects what's in our hearts. It reflects where we invest our efforts, our time, our strength. And that whether we realize it or not, these things are also where we fasten our security on.
I just hope that each of us will examine whether these objects of security are really secure.
Friends.Wild parties.Family.Studies.Booze.Beauty.Books.Travels.Shopping. Beaus.
Are these secure?
And where can we find security in the first place?
**************************************************************
It's in there. IN THAT UNDESERVED GRACE. If we only realize how great it is...
Even brand new years added to us is merely because of grace. We don't deserve it, but it's there anyway.
Like a birthday that happens every year without us asking for it, this grace is also freely given. No one owes it to us, in the same way that nobody is compelled to give us another year to live... But it happens annually without us having to work for it. And like a birthday not spent wisely, we miss the beauty of grace most of the time because we sought security it in the wrong venues. And even then, grace is still available... Now, to take up on this grace is a decision each of us must make.
As we face new years, let's not forget to examine our hearts because....
*Where your heart is. There your treasure will be also*
Happy week. Til then...
