It's so full, and I use so little each night, that it feels like I should never run out. But eventually, little by little, day by day, the liquid is poured out, used up, and the bottle is emptied.
Standing there by my mirror, I realized this was a lot like life.
It feels like life should be endless, filled to the brim with so many days that their number is virtually uncountable.
But somehow, minute by minute, week by week, years go by. Even decades.
Sometimes I wonder, what am I doing with my time? How is it possible that so many days have passed by? Am I using my moments how I should?
I thought of Jesus. In Isaiah 53 scripture says that He "poured out his life unto death."
Imagine my eye make up remover bottle, 3/4 full, suddenly being poured out on the ground until it was empty. What an incredible sacrifice He made.
While on Earth, Jesus proclaimed a great truth. There is more.
In John 4 He promises, "The water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
I think about the future a lot. So I'm pretty grateful to know there is a future. Because its the end of another day, and time to use one more drop.
