The Race

There is a growing passion in my heart that reminds my that my life is a race against time. No one knows when this life will be over for him/her but whatever time I have left I want it to count for something bigger than myself. I want to fulfill my purpose in life and I want to fulfill my God given potential. I also want to help others do the same. I believe that God has a plan and purpose for each life (that's not just a cliche ) and at the end of my life, I hope to hear mission accomplished and "well done, my good and faithful servant". Will I hear anything like those words? I don't know, but trying to please the one who died for me sure beats living a life that in eternity did not count for anything. In other words, I don't want to waste my life. I don't know who first pharased it but my motto in life is, "there is only one life and it will soon pass, only what's done for Christ will last".
