Five Things That Last Forever
Recently I was traveling with my daughter Julia when I looked down at my gas gauge and it was empty. So we pulled into a gas station and I opened my purse and discovered I had no money left in my wallet. Then I reached for my cell phone to call my husband and my battery was dead! Ever notice how quickly things on this earth get depleted? But there are things in life that last and never fade away. What wonderful news! Here are some of those “never ending” gifts: 1 Our Lord’s Love God’s incredible love for you never diminishes, never fails and never runs out. He is not tired of you, you haven’t “used Him up.” He loves you deeply and will forever. You are the perpetual object of His Thoughts and Intentions and Activity today and will be always.
The faithful love of the Lord never ends! Lamentations 3:22
2. Invisible Realities
So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever. 2 Cor. 4:18
3. Every Word our Lord Has Spoken Every promise, every Truth, every gentle comfort, every strong warning, every loving instruction… these will never fade away but stand firm and forever.
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. For, 4. Our Fruit
How often we underestimate the value and lasting impact of the work He does through us every hour. Be encouraged! The fruit of our work here done in Him and for Him will last forever. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit- fruit that will last. John 15:16 5. You You are a forever being! Your life, your heart, will live and last and BE for Eternity! God promises that we will spend that eternal, beautiful life with Him when we simply trust the work done on the Cross to rescue us. Without Jesus, our forever destiny was Hell and separation from His sweet friendship. But now, in Christ, our hearts will LIVE forever in a fascinating, love-filled world that is beyond anything we could ever imagine. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 22: 3 and 4 Tears won’t last. Sorrow won’t last. Death and pain and crying won’t last. But the most precious things of Life will last forever. Precious and Everlasting God, thank You for Your Forever Presence with us, for Your Love that never ends, for Fruit that lasts, for Unseen Realities that give us such enduring JOY in a challenging world. We are Yours forever. Amen. |
