While sitting in church today (probably not paying attention) I came upon the thought of life being a rough draft. I'm not sure why this analogy came to me, but let me try to explain it to both of my readers. :)
What we do everyday is written as a rough draft. Every action and thought and emotion is etched into our "rough draft." The issue is that no one gets a second chance. No one gets to go through, take out the parts that are painful and insert the lessons that would later be realized. Life is lived word by word, sentence by sentence. As the writer continues, they realize and apply past experiences to things they endure now. My question is how many of us are careful with what we do an say? How many of us run through each day without so much as a second thought to how we impact others? More importantly, how many of us sit and look back on what has already been written instead of USING it now to change how we write in the future? Not sure what was supposed to come out of this analogy, but there is one more thought here. God has a perfect story, that covers ours, no matter what. It was written in fine ink, and there is no reason to re-write....there was no rough draft. Just Him, living His life as He was called.....so we wouldn't have to dwell on our rough drafts....and instead, focus on making the next chapter glorify Him. Interesting...
