“Everlasting or Barely Lasting?”

Has anyone else’s life at some point gone from one extreme to the other? Good to bad? Calm to absolute chaos? Rainstorm to hurricane?

No? Just me?

Life is busy – life can be HARD. And your hard may look different than my hard, but it’s still just – hard. Or maybe, just hard days, hard seasons, or hard moments.

When those days or moments hit, it’s easy to lose heart, right? It’s “easier” to focus on the overwhelming, the pain, the troubles, and stresses rather than God’s ultimate goal for our life. We let the chaos of our busy schedules, the “what ifs”, the anxieties, consume us.

My friend, don’t lose heart. Don’t miss every opportunity to take your burdens and heartaches to our perfect COUNSELOR. Placing your focus on the reward for our faith and true joy that is EVERLASTING. Taking your eyes off the troubles, worldly things, sins, and circumstances that are BARELY lasting .

That’s a tough one.

Where is your focus? My focus? Are we enveloped in His Spirit daily remembering that no matter what happens today or in this life, we have the assurance of eternal life? When all suffering ends and all sorrow flees away, are we putting our faith in His everlasting or the world’s barely lasting?

Brothers and sisters, don’t give up. Don’t give in to the “hard” of today’s pain or circumstances and forsake your eternal reward.

Your EVERLASTING.

Our very weakness, our very vulnerability, our very brokenness, allows the absolute power of the resurrection of Christ to strengthen us moment by moment. So LET HIM…. HE won’t fail you. 💛
