The gift of Life

Help me to remember that this is a gift.

Let everything that I do stem from that idea. Everything that flows from that posture will be extraordinary.

When you realize that this life is not yours in the first place, there is a humbling revelation. From there you have a choice: to continue living as if it were your possession, or to give it all away.

I don't know about you, but I would rather ... give it away.

Just the other day, as I was walking on campus, something struck me in this manner. I saw a dear friend pass by and thought, " what if I moved past selfish intention and went out of my way to make sure that others were loved?"

What kind of radical transformation would occur if we all took that to heart?

I'm longing for the day when we will be as one.
