"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
2 Corinthians 16-18
2 Corinthians 16-18
As I read that verse, I wonder why?
Why do we care what others think?
Why do we get caught up in what we wear?
Why do we worry about money?
Why do we plan for the future on this earth?
Why do we question God's will for our life?
WHY? WHY? WHY?
So many times I find myself getting caught up in my daily routine and forget WHY I was placed on this earth. I get excited for worldly things, plan for my future, when in all reality...I am not guaranteed tomorrow so why don't I live like it.
FIX your EYES on what is UNSEEN for it is ETERNAL!!! This earth that I live on is not my home. It excites me to think that this world that we live in is only temporary and one day I will get to spend eternity with my heavenly father, so why not make the most of it while I am here?!
I want to serve my Lord well while I am here. I want to love him with all of my heart. I want to seek his plan each day. I want to be guided by his spirit. I want this joy and burning passion to overflow into my life each day. I want people to know who I am living for. I don't want to leave this earth and people to wonder where I will spend eternity.
So for all this to happen...
I must DECREASE so that he may INCREASE. John 3:30
