Purpose Driven Life - Day 4
Made to last forever.
Life on earth is just the dress rehearsal before the real production. Earth is the staging area, the preschool, The tryout for your life in eternity. It is the practice workout before the actual game, the warm up before the race begins. While life on earth offers many choices, eternity offers only two: heaven or hell. Your relationship to God on earth will determine your relationship to him in eternity. If you realize that life is just preparation for eternity, you will begin to live differently. You will start living in light of eternity, and that will color how you handle every relationship, tasks, and circumstances. Every act of our lives strikes some chord that will vibrate in eternity. The most damaging aspect of contemporary living is short term thinking.
What is it going to be like in eternity with God? The bible says "no mere man has ever seen, heard or even imagined what wonderful things god has ready for those who love The Lord". In heaven we will be reunited with loved ones who are believers, released from all pain and suffering, rewarded for our faithfulness on earth, and reassigned to do work that we will enjoy doing. God has a purpose for your life on earth, but it doesn't end here. you may feel its morbid to think about death, but actually it's unhealthy to live in denial of death ding not consider what is inevitable. If you have a relationship with God through Jesus, you don't need to fear death. It is the door to eternity.
To live each day as if it were the last day of your life. What is the one thing I should stop doing and the one thing I should start doing today?
