Moments Matter

Most of us in this world are looking for the next big thing in life. 

We want to do something so great, so memorable, so Instagram-worthy and Facebook-post-able that we miss out on the moment. 

There is such depth, beauty, and power in the now. The Kingdom of God is here but not yet fully realized. Each moment is filled with the Spirit's pull to know Him and be known by Him.

But when was the last time anyone noticed?

Today could be the best, worst, easiest, hardest, most memorable, most mundane; but however today turns out, God is present and passionately pursuing you. 

Will you let today's moments shape your mind to see things in light of eternity?

While having hopes and dreams may motivate us for great Kingdom work, don't forget to live the day. Each step of the way is a part of the process. Every "Howdy" and "See Ya Later" has a face with a story to tell. Every hug, high five, or smile has potential to change a life. When that potential makes itself known, don't turn away but rather step into the reality of a heart deep conversation.

Whatever it is today, take to heart what Rich Mullins once wrote about these kind of moments:

"It is for those every-once-in-a-while kind of moments - far more than for those once-upon-a-time ones - that we can be most thankful. It is in those moments that we find some sense of who we are." 

We are God's image bearers, being restored in this distorted world, while His Kingdom is here now but not yet fully known. Each moment of each day is an opportunity to be thankful. 

May your moments bring you an eternal perspective of who you are in Christ.
