Time and Wisdom

I am so grateful to be introduced to this book Waktu dan Hikmat (Time and Wisdom) by Pak Tong. Considering how I have lived 20 years as a christian, but wasted my time pursuing self-enjoyment. Even now that I have known Jesus personally, there are times when I forgot that I have to live a life responsible to the One who gave life to me, ignored the fact that every passing day is one less day of my life, and the nearing of His wrath and judgement towards humankind. One should always remember that we have to use the time we have in this temporary world to do works which we can eventually bring over to the eternal kingdom of God.
Hallelujah! May the little notes below help.
ps : i might add more notes in future

I'm not great at remembering information. Thus I'm just going to list down some points that I still remember :

There are 4 ways of counting our days
1. By addition, which is not a way of wisdom
2. By subtraction, meaning days of our life are subtracted one every passing day
3. By multiplication, by squeezism, doing more works in a given time to reach the greatest and eternal-valued result. Multiply our talents!
4. By division, the willingness to divide what we have to others so we can be a blessing to them.

What is time?
1. An essence of process in this relative world. Time has to do with Process
2. Our possession which acts paradoxically compared to our existence
3. A reality which relates to Space
(Elements of creation :Time,Space, and Existence)
4. A need for things in motion in Space ( a fourth dimension )
5. A base for containment of history

Time is Life
Time is Opportunity
Time is Note
