Eternal Home

God's eternal nature is contrasted with peoples frailty. Our time on earth is limited and we are to use it wisely, not living for the moment, but with our eternal home in mind. We take a lot of things for granite in life, we live each day without a care for tomorrow. We put our efforts into "stuff", how much "stuff" can we attain and how much "stuff" can we accomplish. We want, want, want for the now, now, now. We just live for the moment. Yes, I am sure that we sometimes think of our eternity and where we will spend it, but do we take the road to make sure that God has a stronghold in our life? There are passions that we have, for some it is facebook, hours of tweeting, sports that we cant get enough of, attaining mass wealth, shopping, what ever our crutch is, we lean on it way to much. Again, we live for the now. We can only take our souls with us when we die, nothing else matters. We need to pray for wisdom so that we may live more wisely, to open our eyes and look upon eternity with a new luster, to desire our eternal home and not on the things of this earth. David said, "create in me a clean heart oh God, and renew a right spirit within me". He was a man after the things of God, let us learn a lesson from David, lets get new priorities, lets seek God and our eternal home.

Love your neighbor as yourself.

Love is a strong 4 letter word, some people have a lot and some people have very little. If you look up the definition in the dictionary youll get the worldly view on in, if you look it up in the Bible you will get the heavenly version, both have a lot of merit to them. Some people take love seriously and others toss it around like a hot potatoe, dropping it, stepping on it, and having no requard for it whatsoever. People in marriage start out with a healthy dose of love ,then for some reason it seems to smolder down and turn to ashes. Love is a funny thing, a outlandish emotion and action that seems to have lost its meaning within society as a whole. Love seems to have found its way into a click, only to be displayed to a select few while others suffer by the wayside. What has happened to us as a people, what has happened to a simple commandment that was bestowed upon us centuries ago? Love seems to be more prevelant during certain holidays as it comes out from within the catacombs of peoples souls, then soon dissapears. What we need to do is rekindle the fire and bring love back to this world, love back to each other, and I am not just talking about people you like, im mostly talking about loving people you dont like, people you dont even know. Peoples attitude is reflected on how we treat them, and we need to treat them with more love. Love your neighbor as yourself is a powerful statement, and we need to take it seriously. Love is contagious and can be engulfed with a little spark. So next time someone treats you with ill will, just show them love, next time you are feeling down think of the love of Jesus, love conqures all my friends and it is the gateway to happieness, feel the love, but most of all, show the love.
