A ramble about time

The reality of each moment no longer exists. It immediately becomes a memory that survives within our own translation.

We are walking on disappearing steps that vanish as soon as we arrive on them.

These moments have molded us on the way and we become an image of their totality.

Two people can live the same life and turn out differently as we choose to learn or choose to become bitter from each moment in time depending on which memories we root out and which we keep. Our memories define us but those moments are not even so much as a vapour anymore.

What therefore exists now is the future which we can now take control of as we become aware that each step will either make us something beautiful or something dirty to be trampled on due to what parts of the ephemerous past we choose to hold onto.

For a new Christian things are different. When we believe Jesus died for us and rose again and get baptised, all our sins are washed away. We start a new life in Christ where we now focus on whatsoever things are:

true

honest

just

pure

lovely

things of good report

if there be any virture

if there be any praise

think on these things (Phil 4 8).

Old Moments and memories fade away. A new path is created where we become a new person in Christ, molded into holiness.
