Life Almost Over

Have you ever heard someone say they are just about dead? I say it sometimes, but what does it even mean? Today when I went to grab a paper off the copy machine, there was a message flashing across it saying, "Life almost over." Normally a message like this would have flipped me out, but my predecessor had warned me this could happen. Instead of panicking and planning a copy machine funeral, I knew I needed to order more toner.

Toner is a product that helps copy machines run better. Apparently when the machine runs out of toner, it will die. The great news for the copy machine is that when toner is added,  life can resume as normal.

What about us? Do you ever feel tired, exasperated, or worn out? Do you feel like you need to flash a message to the world saying "Life Almost Over?" You don't need toner, but you do need some Jesus to keep you going.

Paul tells us in Ephesians 4:22-24, "You were taught with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by it's deceitful desires, to be made new in the attitude of your minds,  and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."

So stop acting like you're half dead. Fill up on God's word, let go of your old ways, and allow Jesus to work in your life.  Before you know it, you won't even feel like "Life is Almost Over"  instead you'll be ready to roll!
