Breath Only For Today

Have you ever heard the saying “The past is history, the future is a mystery, and today is a gift.  That is why we call it the present”?  Well I tend to ponder about this saying a lot although many of us don’t really think about it that often or we don’t follow what its saying. 

“The past is history” Of course it tis but don’t we always look back upon it?  We don’t always need to be doing this because it can bring back bad memories that can bring you down.  The only reason we need to look back is to learn from our mistakes, to make sure that our faults don’t happen again.  Everyone tends to live there though, always referring to it and digging old experiences back up.  How can you expect to live for today, to be everything you are now, if you’re still dwelling in the past?

“The future is a mystery” We never know what tis going to happen to us, we have absolutely no idea, the only person who knows is God.  God has everything planned out for you, He knows what’s going to happen whether you believe it or not.  The future can be a surprise to you but you have to be ready for it.

“Today is a gift.  That’s why we call it the present” Isn’t it joyous just to hear that today is a gift, a present from God?  We never know what’s going to happen, when we’re going to die so that’s why it’s a present, it’s your gift of life, just to be alive today, alive yet another day.  Love what the day brings you each and every day for what happens was meant to happen, you have to believe that.
