Life comes moment-by-moment. Moments fly by. They can be remembered but they can’t be maintained or recovered once they’re gone. Instead, they pile up in the past. Most moments are completely forgotten, but a few are occasionally remembered.

I try to make every moment my favorite one. That keeps me busy because by the time I’m consciously aware of a moment it’s already gone.

I try to live in conscious awareness of each moment, not focused on the past or the future. The present moment is where I encounter and surrender to the living Jesus Christ. I learn about what Jesus did in the past and I hope and believe for what Jesus is going to do in the future, but I experience His presence in the present moment. (2 Corinthians 6:2)

Now, even as my fingers are dancing on a keyboard, I sense from deep within me the reality of the risen Jesus and the fruit (Galatians 5:22-23) that His Holy Spirit is momentarily producing in me little by little as life’s moments zoom by. The Bible calls that “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” (Colossians 1:27)

O what magic moments Jesus creates in and through me. When I allow myself to be aware of Christ’s reality in now moments, it always makes me want to humbly bow before Him with wide-eyed awe and to verbally release wow after wow!

Christ-aware moments are the favorite moments of my life. I spend my days with my first priority being to experience all the Jesus-moments that I can throughout each day. (Matthew 6:33) How now is full of glory when Jesus is kept as my moment-by-moment focus!
