The present can easily be lost when we become consumed with the past or fretful for the future. Yet the only moment we have is the present moment. It is God’s gift to you and me. My single New Year’s resolution is to deepen my ability to live in the present, one moment at a time.
We must never forget that in every moment, we allow someone or something to sit on the throne of our heart. In the end, if it is not Christ who sits on that throne, it will make no difference what takes His place. It is only the babe of Bethlehem who can lead us everlasting life.
