Postponing life until some event happens is one of the commonest traps anyone can fall into. We think, "When I'm married I'll do this…" or, "After I get married then I'll finally be happy…" But marriage may be farther off than we think, and for some of us, we conclude that when we find that big job, earn more money, buy more things or just indulge in one thing or the other, then we will really be happy. This attitude is called “postponing your life”. Postponing life can start as a harmless wish but can turn into a self-limiting habit that keeps you from becoming the person God wants you to be.
While postponing your social life can be unhealthy, postponing your eternal life can be downright deadly. Millions of single people believe they're entitled to their fun, which involves sex before marriage, alcohol, drugs, and anything else that is popular at the particular time. They promise to settle down later, postponing the time when they will deal with God.
If you have been putting off the invitation of Jesus Christ, now is the time to decide where you will spend the rest of eternity. Don't postpone it any longer. The Bible is unmistakably clear: You can't get to heaven by doing good deeds, and you can't get there by being a good person. The only way is through accepting Christ as your saviour. The choice is up to you. Are you ready to stop postponing your life and start living it? Whatever you decide, you only need to remember that it is either you live your life or someone else will do it for you.
