The final year of a college student's course work can be daunting. Plenty of choices to be made.
I'm in business school. I'm being instructed on who I have to be and how I have to act in order to succeed in life. I learn many helpful tips; however, I don't quite make the connection with the over all principle. I'm sure the instructors are excellent communicators. It's my fault. I think my mind just operates differently. If success meant: CEO of Bank of America, then perhaps my faculty would be a lot more effective with me. I know what the world is screaming at me to do.
That way of living works for a lot of people. However, I've decided I can't live my life that way. I can't conform to the pattern of the corporate world. I don't know that I will ever be that person, but here is what I know to be true: On average somewhere around 85 years is what we have in this place. I have the piece of mind that I actually belong in Heaven. And that's where I'll be forever. So I don't think my vision is blinded. It's clear. Success will fade away with everything else. Eternity is what counts.
In any case, I'm ready. To go home where I belong. And so, I feel like all that matters now is to help others be ready as well.
TRUTH: He will build His church. (Matt.16:18)
TRUTH: His church will bring glory to His name. (Ephesians 3:21)
TRUTH: In His name we have an eternal home. (1 John 5:13)
TRUTH: Our home is Heaven. (2 Corinthians 5:1, Philippians 3:20)
TRUTH: He will take us there someday soon. (John 14:3)
When I look at the truths presented to me, my perspective changes my way of thinking. It's peaceful.
