eternity is coming. let's live for now.
This is a really random and raw thought.
I was listening “There is a King” this morning, and this guy said,
“It won’t be long
We will behold Him
And every tear,
He’ll wipe away
We’ll be at home
The war will be over
Soon we meet our Savior
Face-to-face”
Sometimes I need a reminder that this world is a passing vapor. Eternity is real. Like, realer than my present life. Like, I will REALLY spend my life in constant worship unto the Lord.
So, I don’t want to spend this entire life in survival mode, just trying to “make it.”
No, I want to experience the fullness of joy even in the midst of the pain that is promised to us. I want my life to become the lyrics of the worship songs I sing. I want to experience Heaven on Earth before Heaven comes to Earth. I want to experience home in my heart.
But, what I for sure don’t want to do is waste it due to fear. Fear of what people think. Fear of whether or not I’m good enough. Fear of failing. Fear of being hurt.
I had this thought a few years ago of, “What happens if when God is going over the reel of my life, He says, ‘Oh! You were supposed to do this, and this, and this was going to be SOOO amazing! Oh! & I had such an amazing plan for you to create that!” & I could have done it all, but I never thought that I was good enough to. So, I never acted on any of those things.
I don’t know all of the intricate details to what it’ll look like, but I do know that my life has purpose. & I know that your life has purpose. We were created for fellowship with Him. He uniquely designed us so that our gifting, our personalities, and our interests are used to point ourselves and people back to Him. He literally gave you everything you needed to walk in purpose. & everything else, He’s either working in you, out of you, or bringing it in right timing.
So, let’s stop wasting this life being consumed by fear and worry. This life is a fleeting vapor. It will be over before you know it (literally! 😂 You don’t know it! 😂)
Anyway, life is short & eternity is real. Once this life is over, it’s not coming back. We’ll get something better, but for now, let’s not miss out on all that this life has to offer.
