Living in Light of Eternity

     
   Did you know...                                                            

There are 86400 seconds in one day?   

Here is another question...

If you knew that Jesus was returning tonight or that you were going to die this evening, how would you live differently?

Think about this past week. How did you speak to you spouse? Your kids? You friends? Your co-workers? Were your words life giving or full of death? How did you spend your time-did you waste it or use it wisely?

Let me ask you again... how would you live differently if today was your last day?

Here is what I would do

~I would forgive more freely and not get offended so easily or hold grudges
~I would say, "I'm sorry" more often and think of myself less
~I would spend more time with the people I love and look for ways to let them know I love them
~I would make things right when I hurt someone right away instead of waiting until later

~I would laugh more and not make little things into big things!


Friend, God calls His children to live in light of eternity. This life is so temporary!! This earth, it is not our home-Heaven is! We don't know when Jesus is returning, so must always be ready. If Jesus returned now, what would you feel? Would you be excited to see Him? Ashamed of the life you have lived as His child? Relieved?
   "So now, little children, remain in Him, so that when He [Jesus] appears, we may have boldness and not be ashamed before Him at His coming." 1 John 2:28
My friend, may we live everyday, not for ourselves, but for the One who gives us meaning and purpose. May we live everyday as if it was our last!
Blessings,
