What matters most?

I have a quote sitting on my board for a long time. It reads:
“Lecturers mark your assignments, Bosses mark your performance but God marks your life.”

The time that I have left is all I am of worth.
Incredible, I think, the matters I give my heart and soul to.
Perhaps something’s gone awry.

If I’ll pause for a moment to ask…
What is most important, pressing, and most urgent in my life?

Away from the noise, I’d realise the truth.
…My walk with Him, and how He thinks of me.
If I was led by him, and if He has lived in me.
Degrees are great, honors are better,
but perhaps most enticing are the doors to great and unthinkable opportunities that these open.

But in His sight, a gentle and quiet spirit is of the greatest worth.
