What's Your Greatest Moment?

If someone were to ask you about the greatest moment of your life, what would you say? There was the moment you took your first step. The moment you got your first job, made your first friend, went on your first date. The moment you fell in love, your child was born, or God became real to you.

But I want to offer another candidate. I believe that the greatest moment of your life is now. Not because it's pleasant or happy or easy, but because this moment is the only moment you've got. Every past moment is irretrievably gone. It's never coming back. And the future is always out there somewhere - you can spend an eternity waiting for tomorrow.

This moment is God's irreplaceable gift to you. Most of all, this is the moment that maters because this moment is where God is.

I found the above thought from a retreat this past weekend. It was part of an article by John Ortberg.
