Eternity

It is insane not to live with eternity in view. Every act of goodness, no matter how small, will be remembered and rewarded. I haven’t saved for retirement as I should have, but I have been a pretty good giver over the years. Recently God reminded me that I had my priorities in good order (which is not to say that I shouldn’t have saved more for retirement). Every penny that I have given away is waiting for me on the other side, with interest. Reread the Gospels and highlight every time Jesus references the important of the upcoming, eternal reward. Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. As Jim Elliot said, “No man is a fool who gives up what he can not keep to gain that which he can not loose.” To put it another way, the Holy Spirit recently whispered this in my ear: “Ultimately, nothing visible matters.”
