the "it'll be better when..." game

It's a dangerous game. We've all played it...

"It'll be better when ______________________ ."

When you live in that game, you are robbed of the now. It is an invention of Satan himself, and is a breath-sucking, joy-robbing, grace-stealing path. it is easy to play, even natural in some ways...

let me encourage us all to take the advice offered in this line from an obscure little song:

live in the moment,

before the moment slips away...

May God bless us as we live in His now and His Grace.
