Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Considerations Upon Christian Truths and Christian Duties Digested Into Meditations for Every Day in the Year, Vol. 2 Consider, first, how precious a thing time is, which we are so apt to squander away, as if it were of no value. Time is the measure of our lives; therefore as much as we lose of our time, so much of our lives is absolutely lost. All our time is given us in order to our employing it in the service of our Maker, and by that means securing to our souls a happy eternity; and there is not one moment of it, in which we may not labour for an eternity, and in which we may not store up for ourselves a treasure for an eternity; so that, as many as we lose of these precious moments, they are so many lost eternities. Our time is a talent, with which God has intrusted us, and of which he will one day demand of us a strict account, how we have spent every hour of it. Our salvation or damnation for eternity, will depend upon the good or bad use of our time. Ah, how little do we think of this! How little do we think of the sins we are daily guilty of, in squandering away so much of this precious time! Consider, secondly, how short is the whole time of this mortal life - a mere nothing compared with eternity - and how very quickly it passes away. When past, it is gone; it is no more; it leaves no footsteps behind it. Time to come is not ours; we cannot promise ourselves one moment of it. The present time is all we can call oar own; and God only knows how long it will be so. It flies away in an instant; and when once it is gone, it cannot be called back. Our hours, one after another, all post away with precipitate haste, into the vast gulf of eternity, and are swallowed up there, and then appear no more. The very moment in which we are reading this line is just passing, never, never more to return. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
