Time is A Jewel Worth More than a World!

Time is not yours to dispose of as you please; it is a glorious talent, which men must be accountable for, as well as any other talent. Of all talents, time is the hardest to improve well. Ah, beloved, do you not need to improve your use of time, who have much work to do in so short a time: your souls to save, a God to honor, a Christ to exalt, a hell to escape, a race to run, a crown to win, temptations to withstand, corruptions to conquer, afflictions to bear, mercies to improve, and your generation to serve!

"Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Psalm 90:1

- Thomas Brooks
Time-- We will have all eternity to celebrate our victories, but we only have a short, brief window of time to win them.

- Amy Carmichael
