We will all soon be gone from this place and quite possibly there will be those to tread where we now walk. What will we leave behind to set an example, a pattern for those who come after us to follow? What will our lives say about what we lived for when we are gone? How can we challenge those who, LORD willing, will walk where we walk and read and learn what we are living for today?
Would you like the future of the Christian Church to follow your example of faith in Christ today?
Read, be challenged and weep if you are caught up with so many cares and issues of this life while Christ and the work of HIS Kingdom is being almost entirely neglected. Is HE your Treasure, your Pearl of Great Price, your exceeding great reward, the One to whom all of your affection, adoration, longing, love and obedience is directed? If not, HE can be- today. Turn from the other things that keep you from being fully surrendered to HIM and draw near to HIM with a true heart in full assurance of faith.
"While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." 2 Cor. 4:18
I hope the preceding prayerful petition from DesiringGod.org stir and challenge your hearts and minds to ponder our brief existence on this planet, the fragility of our life and short pilgrimage here and birth in you a new passion to live for the things that are not seen. Life is quick and we’ll all soon be heading home.
