Someone died today, and she would have been no more than 40.
By the worlds standards, she had everything.
Success, money, social presence…
And now she is gone.
It hit home, that we can spend our lives, chasing dreams, chasing success, chasing happiness…but in the end, you cannot take it with you.
In the end it means nothing!
For me, it hit home, all that stuff, it really doesn’t matter.
What does matter is:
- Knowing where I am going when this life is over – you have two choices, yep, heaven or hell. And no matter how much that makes you squirm, that’s the truth of it.
- Spending time with and getting to know my heavenly Father, while I am here – being a Christian is not a religion, it is about a relationship.
- Finding and doing what my purpose is.
- Building others up
- Loving and helping others.
- And if I am financially free, using that to help and bless others, not just hoard it all for myself.
So yeah, it really hit me.
What am I focusing on? And does it have eternal value and not just here and now value.
So in the scheme of this life, it is worth considering…what are you living for?
