"Therefore be attentive to time and the way you spend it. Nothing is more precious. This is evident when you recall that in one tiny moment heaven my be gained or lost. God, the master of time, never gives the future. He gives only the present, moment by moment...You will not be able to excuse yourself at the last judgment saying to God, "You overwhelmed me with the future when I was only capable of living in the present."
In love all things are shared and so if you love Jesus, everything of his is yours. As God he is the creator and dispenser of time; as man he consciously mastered time; as God and man he is he rightful judge of you and your use of time. Bind yourself to Jesus, therefore, in faith and love, so that belonging to him you may share all he has and enter the fellowship of those who love him."
