MIND OF TRUTH

Its interesting to see how many people long for a new beginning, especially this time of year. Whether its new resolutions, renewed promises to ones self, or a hope that in the next year things will be better - we can't help but look for new beginnings. Its like we all keep looking for a better fit for our life. We all want to be happier, wealthier, richer in friends and family, have more opportunities, be loved, give freely, and on and on. No matter how hard we try though, we still feel like something is missing. I believe we will always feel that way until the Kingdom of God is fully realized.

Don't waste your time on temporal things that will fade away. Love people, love your family, serve others, be a generous giver, speak the Word, pursue Christ with your whole being - those are things worth your time. Don't let up, be willing to loose your life to find it. My eyes are fixed on eternity. I believe God's Word is true and I will rule and reign with Him in a new heaven and a new earth. Now is the time to learn and grow and prepare. Now is the time to finish strong.
