I woke up this morning with a strong sense of the presence of God and an unshakeable emotion. The best way I can describe what I felt and experienced was in a word that was imprinted on my heart – “unfinished.” The fact that we are alive today suggests to me that, because of the providence and sovereign will of God, there are things we have not yet finished. There are still …
- Thoughts to be had
- Words to be said
- Love to be expressed
- Gifts to be given
- People to be encouraged
- Memories to be shared
- Birthdays to be celebrated
- Laughter to be enjoyed
- Tears to be shed
- Blogs or perhaps books to be written
- Projects to be built; and that’s just the beginning
Even better yet…
- People I must encounter
- Some that need to find Jesus
- People that need a kind word, or just need to be heard
- Lives to be rescued
- Babies to hold, and grandkids (God willing) whose dental plan I must ruin
- In short, life to be lived
I’m sure you get the picture. As beautiful as life has been and in-spite of what has already been accomplished, there are things yet unfinished. Have you thought of what’s unfinished in your life? I thank God that not only can we trust Him to start us off well, He can be trusted to help us finish well. (Heb 12:2a “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith…”)
Let’s leave nothing undone!
