Every life is defined by two movements of time, but often, we only consider one of them. The first is the chronological timeline from birth to death. The other time is eternity. What we do in our life on Earth has echoes and impacts to eternity. The Greeks had two words for time: Chrono and Kairos. Kairos differs from the more general concept of Chronos, which refers to chronological time. Kairos is a qualitative concept that involves understanding a situation and recognizing its unique opportunity. Kairos is what shapes our destiny. Man tends to live without sensing the importance of time. God provides Kairos moments but does not force us into them. How much do we miss because we do not recognize Kairos moments? Within each of us is the opportunity to embrace what God presents. God gives us choices. We make the choice, and the choice makes us. We must remain vigilant and watchful for the opportunities God places before us and be quick to accept the direction that He provides.
