We want to control life and death in our self motivated culture. We want to take each moment and mold it into the future we envision. And because of our relentless desire to shape each moment into that ultimate moment that's yet to be lived, we miss out on living right now.
A woman's legally and semi-culturally accepted right to choose death for her unborn child is a moment destroyer. Think of the moment you first discovered you were pregnant. Did your heart leap with joy? Did you look at your belly and imagine what the little life within you would look like and be like? Did you run to tell everyone, especially the new daddy? Or was it a moment of despair, darkness, death?
Live in this moment and enjoy the breath of life. Enjoy each moment as they build into the days, weeks, months, and years which mark life on earth. With each changing season, find joy by living moments of hope. And I know, when we live in the moment, accepting all the trials, sorrows, or pains it may bring with trust and hope, we live for God. And living for God is the only way to live.
Live In This Moment
Lyric By Kristin Ball
Verse
Live in this moment
I long to do
Not dwell on past hurts
Or dream of what's new
Just wanting to love
Every breath I take
Being set free
It's the choice I make
To let go of me
And hold onto You
Freedom from my fears
Is found in Your Truth.
Chorus
It's hard to believe
I've lived so many years
Full of memories
Laughter and tears
So I believe
In this moment I live
Each breath I take
Is a gift You give.
Verse
It's amazing how
Good it feels
To breathe for a moment
Free from ideals
Not anxious about
What's to come
Or ashamed about
What I've done
Just living the moment
Totally free
From every dark fear
You take from me.
Bridge
Because of my past
I forgive who I am
Because of my future
I hope for who I'll be
Because of today
I love being me
Because I have come to see
This moment is all I need.
