God wants us to live in the moment. He wants us to savor every minute we have with our loved ones on this planet, but he also wants us to live with an eternal perspective.
I was watching a football game recently on DVR. I knew the outcome of the game because I’d seen the final score on the news before I watched the replay. My team won!
Knowing I already had the victory changed my entire experience of watching the game.
As I watched the game unfold, there were times my team was losing. I started thinking to myself, Oh, no! We’re behind! We won’t be able to come back. This isn’t going to end well.
Then I would come to my senses and realize, Wait! The end is already decided. Victory is certain. We’ve already won!
When the opposition would score, it wasn’t pleasant to watch, but I could smile because I knew the final outcome.
You and I are living lives full of ups and downs. There are days that seem like a victory, and other days we feel defeated. On the hard days it’s easy to look around and become discouraged. It’s easy to feel like things are never going to work out.
Let us be reassured with the truth of God’s eternal truth—the end of the story is already written, and we win!
Jesus has claimed victory. Through faith in Him, we can rest assured that in the end He will set all things right and make all things new. We’ll get to celebrate with him and with our loved ones forever.
Love isn’t a Story with a Happy Ending
Love Is A Story With No Ending!
When we choose to love people the way Jesus loves people, the world will change. Don’t treat others the way they treat you; treat others the way God treats you. Embrace the love of Jesus in your own life, and then model the example of Jesus in your relationships. Jesus changed the world with love, and He wants you and me to continue in His footsteps. He wants to give us a new heart and a new life.
When we step from this life into eternity, love is all that matters. Live life with a heart of love. You’ll be amazed at what will happen as a result.
