Time is a concept

Time is a concept that is hard to control. It does not matter how much you want it to slow down or stop it will continue to progress. This is the same with life; it doesn’t matter what happens life continues to progress. In a way this is good, but when times are rough you need the world to stop so you can regain composure. Finding peace in the storm in a sense is what it boils down to. As time passes so do friends, moments, and memories. Time steals from us and gives as well. Time takes our attention and memories but gives us opportunities and wisdom. Come to think of it God is like time. He gives us so much, yet takes away what we hold onto the most. God gives us mercy, grace, and unconditional love. He takes away heartache, shame, and despair with the list going on forever. As God created us in his own image, perhaps time was too.
