Expiration Dates

Everything has an EXPIRATION DATE......at least anything that is edible or that breathes, be it plant or animal. As usual, when I heard and thought about these two words together, it got me to thinking.

Although our EXPIRATION DATE is not stamped on our foreheads, it IS there whether we see it or not. There will come a day that all those products in our grocery stores, if they're edible, will expire.

So will we.

One day, will be our last day. With cans of edible foods in our grocery stores, we can visually see when any particular food expires. But with people, we cannot see nor know when our last day will be. There is no visual expiration date that our eyes can behold stamped anywhere on our bodies. Only God Himself knows this date. It is up to us to be "used up" before we expire.

USED UP you may ask???? Yep.....just like we empty out a can of veggies to be enjoyed, used up for their purpose, so it should be with we human beings. We were placed here for a purpose....to be "used up" BUT, for HIS GLORY and HONOR.

What about you? Admit it or not, you do have an EXPIRATION DATE. Isn't it time that you allow yourself to be "used up" for God's glory before your EXPIRATION DATE comes up? It could be sooner than you think.
