Own Time Wisely (Devotional and Motivation for Your Soul)

Own the Time Wisely
Time is an elusive element of our lives. In moments of desperation, it feels eternal-dragging on with a heaviness that makes each second feel like a weight pressing down. Yet in moments of joy and celebration, time slips through our fingers like water, moving so quickly that it leaves us longing for more. Why is it that we can’t control this strange flow? Why do the things we want to push away linger, while the moments we want to hold vanish so swiftly?
The answer may lie in how we choose to inhabit each moment. Often, in our hardships, we dwell on the painful details, dissecting each one. We relive past hurts, replaying them again and again, examining what went wrong and imagining ways it could have been different. We become trapped in cycles of regret, anger, or sadness, causing time to expand around us, stretching our suffering.
But joy-joy is different. In joy, we open ourselves completely, without analyzing or grasping. We simply are, present in the fullness of the moment, letting joy wash over us like a breeze or fill us like sunlight. We don't pick it apart; we don’t overthink it. We let it be, and because of this openness, it feels fleeting, like it’s passed in an instant.
