Now. We may know that now is all the time there is, but it's hard to hold that in our reasoning mind what with all our wants and wishes, rues and regrets, what ifs and when, oh Lords?
It is helpful to realize and then to repeat...often: There is no God in tomorrow, there is no God in yesterday...for there is no tomorrow, no yesterday.
We can think of, picture if you will, tomorrow and what we plan for tomorrow, but there is no tomorrow. There is only today as we picture our tomorrow, but as soon as today ends, we are in today...there is no tomorrow.
Same goes for yesterday...we can regret what happened to us yesterday, but we are in today when we're regretting. We cannot stand in yesterday, we cannot be in tomorrow.
There is only today, and today means now...not this evening, because...aha! There is no "this evening." Now. There is only now. And God is here now. That is all.
As we give up our prayers of "Please, God, make this happen...make that un-happen," we learn to pray our "thank you" prayer..."Thank you for my everything just as it is right this very minute." For that is the only thing God can perfect...now. Which he perfects every single minute for every single living being, and our only job is to plug in and let it be.
What we must needs grasp unto breathing it: God is every single minute. God is now...All.
Thank you.
