Day 17---What's the difference between being alive and living?
In my opinion, being alive is the very state of drawing breath. That is you have to use the passive verb, to be, as you describe the state of. It's an English lesson, I guess. It's a state of being; it's God allowing you to draw your next breath.
To live is the action verb. That means you can do it. Living is the progressive form which says living is ongoing and continual. It's building relationship with God, yourself and others. It's fulfilling purpose.
Being alive is God's gift to you, but living, that's your gift to God.
