In God’s Own Time

 

God thinks differently than we do.

To Him, Time is not money,

It does not fly away when you’re having fun,

or have to be assessed

one day at a time,

Time is not of the essence,

because the essence of our lives is not measured

in minutes,

but rather in moments,

and what happened in them,

who we hurt, or who we loved

in each immeasurable instance.

Did we think we were the Cause,

or the conductor

of that energy?

Were we the Creator

or the Reflector

of the Sun?

In the eye of God,

Time does not advance,

and it certainly does not happen

as we want it to.

For us, minutes turn into hours,

turn into days, and years,

and we want things to happen in a certain length

of time,

There may be reasons unknown to us,

things we don’t see at the … time,

There may be something we have to learn,

and it may take a lifetime or more,

It may be a moment for someone else,

and we are not aware of it,

We are backed up in traffic

there is an accident ahead,

The person in the accident

may or may not make it,

depending on whether it is their time

to go,

We don’t know,

All we can do is move forward,

and not judge our lives by minutes on a clock,

but rather judge it by our  moments of compassion,

and the effort we put forth

with all our best intentions.
