Thoughts on keeping an eternal perspective...
It's so easy to get caught up in the moments of life...moments that turn into days, and days into years....the busyness that often makes us forget that there's an eternity ahead. And we are rushing headlong into it.
You dream of where you want to be, and then when you get there, you want to be somewhere else. But that's because heaven is calling. And you hear it. You hear it telling you that this is not your home. You hear it tell...ing you that there is something beyond time that has claimed you and now you can't escape the reality of it. Home is not here.

And one day you will arrive at your final destination, leaving behind all earthly care, every temporal pleasure and success, and you will realize then the vanity of everything lived for outside of Christ.
The time you borrow is only a breath. It's measure is found, not in years, but in substance. The stuff here and now that gives you a foretaste of the glory that's ahead...the glory that compels you to bid others to come along with you...that's what counts. The lasting satisfaction of possessing a life in Christ that will never end...one that's leading you in moments, days and years to your true home...It's worth chasing after. It's worth living for. Because in the end, it's all that really matters.
"Redeem the time, because the days are evil." (Eph. 5:16)
