In his Epistle to the Romans, Paul of Tarsus writes about the importance of time.

According to him, he who despises the day despises the Lord.

That is, he who does not value ??the day shows ingratitude to God.

Most men do not realize the infinite value ??of time.

There are those who effectively abuse this Divine gift.

They believe that they are entitled to the wealth of all benefits by God.

They see themselves as creditors of the Universe.

However, it would do them well to examine their consciences as to the reason of this presumption.

The universal creation is a common heritage, granted by God to His children.

Consequently, it is reasonable that everyone enjoys life's possibilities.

As a matter of fact, these possibilities are God’s investment in the collective welfare.

He who receives it does so as an escrow.

He needs to use them to the benefit of himself and others.

When reincarnated on Earth, man is vested in the condition of beneficiary of various treasures.

Through the sober and usefuluse of such treasures, man should arrange for their spiritual improvement.

As life is eternal, man will always have some time.

But what is time if it has no light, no balance, no health, and no job?

Rare are those who value the day in its infinite possibilities.

Those who work seriously, forgive, have healthy conversations, tend to be agents of peace and progress.

Those who seek to annihilate the day multiply everywhere.

The old popular expression kill time highlights the disregard with which this treasure is treated.

In the darkest corners of the Earth there are creatures exterminating sacred possibilities.

Hours are spent in useless pastimes.

Addictive games, harmful conversations, empty readings...

However, a day of peace, harmony and enlightenment is an asset of infinite value.

The Divine Laws are revealed and executed worldwide through human action.

He who manages to become their instrument grows in peace and harmony.

Those with immediate interests in the world claim that time is money.

However, men, life after life, must resume unfinished works.

They do and undo, build and destroy, learn and remember with difficulty in the acquiring of experience.

In almost all sectors of terrestrial evolution, the abuse of the opportunities complicates the paths of life.

However, many centuries ago, the Apostle said that time belongs to the Lord.
