Life is Short; Take the Risk
Brief reflection on the brevity of life and risks worth taking
The average person lives around 4,000 weeks throughout their lifetime. (Wild, I know!!) I came across that statistic recently, and I have thought about it everyday since.
Life is short. It is fitting that life is often marked by a short dash between two dates on obituaries and tombstones. This can either lead us to despair and spiral; or gratitude for the gift of life and move us come to terms with how we hope to spend our lives between those two dates.
Take the risk. Pursue your God-given dreams. Make the move. Forgive others. Forgive yourself. Get the help and support you need. Invest in things that truly matter.
Lord, make us good stewards of the life You have entrusted to us.
