Every
Christian should consider the following: 1) that the time of your life
passes without stopping, 2) that you cannot turn back time and the past
is completely gone, 3) that you cannot control the past and the future
but only the present which you live at this very moment, and 4) that you
do not know when is the end of your life.
This is why we should always
be ready, every day, every hour, and every moment, through a state of
continuous repentance while our spiritual situation should be as such as
we would like it to be the hour of our death.
St. Tikhon of Zadonsk
