Teach us to realise the brevity of life, so that we may grow in wisdom (Psalm 90:12; NLT).
“I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!” (Matthew 25:40; NLT).
Grow to maturity (2 Corinthians 13:11; NLT).
Lord,
You are so very good
To me:
You give me life,
A precious, short-term gift,
So I can learn
From all its challenges.
Help me to use my time
Both well and wisely,
By seeing you
In everyone I meet,
And growing in maturity
Each year.
