Life is a mixture of blessings and challenges, joys and sorrows, strengths and weaknesses, successes and failures. One perspective that can help you navigate the ups and downs of life is the recognition that everything is temporary.

This doesn't mean that everything is meaningless or random, but rather that everything has a beginning, a middle, and an end.

And how we respond to these experiences and situations most definitely can impact our character, worldview, and journey.

Life is full of diverse experiences that can enrich or challenge you, but none of them last forever.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

3 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:

2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6 a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 8 a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

Even in the midst of something tragic, this too shall pass.

YOU are not stuck in the posture of your situation permanently.

Yes, in the moment, it can feel unbearable as if you are carrying your heart in your hands.

But this too shall pass.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Everything is temporary!

When you stop to catch your breath in the moment, it forces your focus on what really matters; the essential and healthy stuff.

But there is that temptation to cling too tightly to material possessions, status symbols, or unhealthy relationships. if that becomes the breath of your every day, you may suffer more than necessary when they are no longer; taken away or prove to be transient.

By acknowledging that everything is temporary, we can appreciate what you have without depending on it for your happiness or identity.

That, my friend, is freeing in so many ways!

Further, your gratitude and joy for what God has given you are extremely valuable and meaningful. But even this falls short.

However, because everything is temporary, one thing does not waver-- Your relationship and faith in God.

As you face challenges, setbacks, or losses, you can remind yourself that they will not last forever. You can seek support, learn lessons, develop skills, and grow in character, knowing that these experiences are temporary but transformative.

Yet, you can also trust in God's grace, power, and promises, knowing that His love endures forever, and His plans are for your well-being.

So whether you're going through a rough patch or a great time, remember that everything is temporary.

As the apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 4:17-18:

17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

PRAYER: May you have the wisdom and courage to live your every day in a way that honors God and embraces the temporary nature of life.

"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
