The thought of losing everything I have near and dear to me use to scare me. I always thought id be nothing without it. Well even now i am nothing just a speck of dust! I had a hard long chat with God. I was just flipping through my bible and one verse just popped out to me.
"Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." Colossians 3:1-2
After thinking about this, I picked up my bible to put it away and a piece of paper fell out. It was the story about my friend who had gotten killed in the skiing accident. I just thought about it harder and harder from what the verse said and then from what the father of the boy who died said. He said "I woke up the next day after Trent's death and everything in his closet was there and everything that he owned on earth was here"
It made me come to the conclusion that no matter how much i love something on earth I can never love it more then God and can never replace God or never do I want to. I can love it and always have it mean something to me but when I die and go up to heaven I will be face to face with my Lord and that thing that meant so much to me won't mean anything to me. It will just be something worthless when I am in heaven with Jesus being in Awe of him.
I am no longer in fear of losing everything on earth because I have something better to look forward to, when I die. Jesus, Heaven, a new body, Eternity, and more! Tonight, I am in awe of God amazing Love, Grace, and Forgiveness!
Dance for Jesus and Live!
"O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can't contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!"
Come to Jesus by Chris Rice
