On the subject of #time:
For example, this year I see many people struggling with a lack of time. They constantly talk about having no time and not being able to get the things they need to do done. Could this loss of blessing in time have a common root or cause, or be something with a collective effect?
A lack of blessing in time and the feeling that there is never enough of it are consequences of failing to give thanks for the blessing of time. Gratitude for this blessing brings an increase in it. Making proper use of time, together with faith and mindfulness of God, brings immense blessings into a person’s life and frees them from the poverty of time.
Divine blessing encompasses all of God’s gifts, and time is one of them. Giving thanks for the gift of time makes that gift grow—not only by making better use of it, but by expanding time in spirit and in the soul. A wise person lives in time both bodily and spiritually, and benefits from both dimensions of it!
Failing to give thanks for the gift of time leaves a person in the grip of temporal poverty.
Using time well and preventing it from being wasted are necessary conditions for benefiting from it; but the sufficient condition is God-consciousness. When joined with faith, God-consciousness brings the immense blessings of time to the one who possesses it.
