There are two words that need to exit my vocabulary immediately! Those words are "tomorrow" and "yesterday".
Everyday I live, those two words dictate my entire day, my decisions, the activities we do, the people I see, my drive to work work out, my eating habits, my time with my son.
Tomorrow I will start a diet
Tomorrow I will play with Kole more.
Tomorrow I will work out.
Tomorrow I will clean the house
Tomorrow I will go see this person or that person
Tomorrow I will sell my It Works
Tomorrow I will overcome this complacency
Tomorrow I will read my Bible...
Tomorrow. Tomorrow. TOMORROW
Yesterday I worked hard, so I don't need to go work out
Yesterday I was hurt by someone so I will close my heart up
Yesterday I didn't sleep well so I will sleep all day today
Yesterday I blah blah blah
I can not LIVE if these two words are going to be part of my vocabulary. And if you think about it there never really is a tomorrow. Tomorrow always turns into today. and then I am in the same boat. Waiting for tomorrow and blaming yesterday.
Well no more! My tomorrow is right now and my yesterday never was! My life will change. I will have my todays! Today is the day that my excuses are no more. Tomorrow is only a date. Yesterday is a memory not a shackle.
But most importantly, Today is the day that I LIVE for the One who DIED for me. Today is the day that I repent. Today is the day that His love is enough. Today is the day that my body becomes His temple. I am made for so much more than my yesterdays and tomorrows. I am meant to be His everyday.
