The time is running out

GOSPEL THOUGHTS

*Ordinary Season : 23rd  Week : Wednesday*

*Gospel : Lk 6:20-26*

*First Reading : 1 Cor 7:25-31*

*The time is running out*

*1) Time is the only thing, which can't be stopped*

Time is one of the special things in our life, which can't be stopped by anything in this world

Time is always moving. It is even difficult to pin point which is the present moment, because its moving continuously

*2) Time of Our life*

The moment we take birth into this life, our time begins 

Once the time of our life begins, nothing can stop this time in our life 

Its continuously moving and each moment that we spent is gone for ever

No human being or no power on earth can bring back the time which is spent. Nothing can stop the movement of time 

*3) Time of our life can't be increased*

There is no possibility of increasing the time of our life 

God has already fixed the time of our life and this time is running out each moment 

Once we realise this fact our attitude will change and we will become better human beings 

*4)  Not to involve in unnecessary things*

In today's first reading, St Paul warns us that, since time is running out or time is short, one should not involve in unnecessary or useless things. 

Since time is precious and there is lots of good things to do, there is no time to spend in unnecessary things 

So one should on watch about how one spends his/her time 

*5) How much time we spend for God?*

Time is the precious gift of God. If so how much time we spend for God?, is a important question to reflect 

Today we spend much of our time in social media and in other gadgets like mobile, TV, Computers in useless things 

So it is a serious question to reflect by all of us 

*6) There is no time to hate*

*If you judge people, you have no time to love them.* Mother Teresa

So even in our life if we gossip where is the time to speak good about others 

If we keep hatred towards others where is the time forgive others 

If we are selfish where is the time to become generous

If we are proud, where is the time to become humble

If we are greedy where is the time to give and to share 

If we are thinking only about worldly things where is the time to think about heavenly things 

If we waste our time where is the time to learn

*Be aware time is running out. What will you do??*

*Think about it*

*God bless you and your family. Praying for you and your dear ones*
