Time

Time

is a funny thing.

One moment is here—

then it’s gone.

Where does time go?

Does it get sucked into oblivion 

after being warped into a black hole?

Does time return

with the regeneration of old souls?

Does time slow down 

for those who have the will to stop it?

Is time a person, place, or thing?

Is it an object you can hold—

or something from of old…

Time

is not in space.

Time

is not reincarnation.

Time

cannot be stopped

by a single soul.

Time

is not derived from a noun.

Time

cannot be touched.

So then, what can we say about time?

The first time, I thought I had it right.

The next time, I knew I was all wrong.

The last time, I thought it to be true.

This time, I’m ready.

Next time is waiting.

The final time

is unknown.

No one can fathom how time began, continues, or will one day end.

One thing I know for sure:

time has a face.

One day we will look into His eyes—

and we will know the glory of time

as the glory of God

through Christ our Lord.

Time has an expiration date.

So do we.

“This is your life. 

Are you who you want to be?”
