Blip...and gone

Do you ever check your priorities?
What are you pursuing?

What is it costing you?
Have you ever built something just to see it crumble down around you?
What did you sacrifice to build it?
Was it worth it?
Did you learn anything?



Our experiences are but a blip in our lives.
Our lives are but a blip in eternity


Let's focus on what counts.
Let's be kingdom builders.
Let's be people that set our minds heavenward.
Let's effect people and situations with an eternal perspective in hopes that God will bless it and thus not just be a blip, but be somebodies eternity.

Perfection!!!

I am so glad that Jesus was perfect. Man what a relief it is... He came and lived among us. With His perfection it is a huge load off because it means i don't have to be. I can't even come close. Day by day i realize that this life is merely a pursuit of perfection, we are taking it step by step and day by day. If we spend our time trying to reflect Christ to others, we are making the most of our days.
Heard a preacher once say that we should always act as if we have it all together, but why? Wouldn't transparency be better, people see our struggles but also the peace we hold onto.
Yes we know where our peace comes from and we have that assurance, but to appear as if we have it all together all the time seems fake. I'm glad Jesus said come to me all you who are heavy laden and I will give you rest. I don't have it all together nor will I this side of Heaven. I'm not going to 'act' like it either. I think that is why the word hypocrite is used. Jesus accepts and uses me just as I am.
I don't have to be perfect....I should pursue it at all times and will be glad to meet it in Heaven. Thank you Jesus for paying my debt. I am very grateful for your sacrifice and the gift of salvation. Help me to be who you need me to be.

May your day be great and God accomplish great things through you today.

Peace
B
