There’s a funny thing about procrastination. Even when you do your best to avoid it, somehow it finds you.
I just finished my time management project for the semester. In it, I had to plan my whole semester, inputting my study time. My conclusion is that I will be studying a whole lot this semester. I started out with a goal to get ahead of schedule and stay there, but I am already finding myself too close to my deadlines for comfort. In my project, I had to write a paper discussing time management principles I had learned. While writing about procrastination, I came to a surprising realization.
I think the reason procrastination seems to find every student is because God put eternity in our hearts. Our minds cannot easily function with the understanding of mortality. In our daily life we are reminded of it, but it always comes as a shock. This, I think, is the reason we are surprised by deadlines. In our minds, in our hearts, life should just go on. Someday soon, it will.
Eternity is coming soon. I am happy that eternity is more a reality than anything that seems real to me now. I am looking; watching; waiting. It excites me to no end to realize that I am getting married.
I will marry Jesus and He will be mine. I will finally KNOW Him!!! Oh the joy of that day; I cannot even imagine. (Come Lord Jesus!!)
I have always thought: there is no end to God, so we can never fully ‘know’ Him, or rather all that He is. But thinking about the coming Wedding Day, I realized something. I WILL know Him. I will fully KNOW Him. When a man and wife become one, they KNOW each other, in intimacy. This doesn’t mean they share a brain, can read each other’s minds, or otherwise predict thoughts, but they become one and they KNOW each other. In this way, I WILL know the Lord.
That means so much to me. I would give up EVERYTHING I know, to have Him, to hold Him. And one day soon, I will finally be able to. This is the reason I live. For the day I will know Him. I will be fully His and finally, He will be fully mine.
