It’s been said that our life is a dash between two dates: Our birth date and our date of death. My question to you is this: What will you do with your dash?
Some use their dash to pursue temporary things such as riches, pleasure or material possessions. Others use their dash to pursue the plan of God for their lives and to minister to humanity. Only you can make the decision as to what you will do with your dash.
You have only one dash, so use it wisely. Will you waste your dash on things that will someday perish, or will you use your dash to engage in activities that will have an eternal impact?
Will your dash be warmly remembered by others long after you are gone, or will your dash be just another punctuation mark in humanity that will soon be forgotten?
Just remember that you have the power (and responsibility) to use your dash as you will. Since you have only one dash, you should carefully and prayerfully consider how you plan to use it. I hope you will invest it wisely and not waste it. For the Scriptures state that our life (or dash) is as a vapor.
As the poem states:
” Only one life,’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.”
So what will you do with your dash?
