All things are yours, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future–  (1 Corinthians 3:22).

Now is yours.

Now, this day, this moment, is when you can meet with God.  Now is when he can work in your heart and bring you a little closer to the image of his son.  Now might be joyful, it might be painful, but now will certainly be God-full, if you let it be.

Now is yours.

Then is yours.

Then, in the future, you will arrive.  You will be…complete.  At long last, the image in your soul’s mirror will match the reflection in God’s eyes when he looks at you.  Then will be glorious.  You will be glorious.  

So meet with him today.  Let him work in you. Let him bring Now one step closer to Then.

Because he can do that…even on a Monday.

Happy Monday, Beloved.
