Do you like your
life? Do you like yourself? If you could, would you change anything? Before you answer the questions, take a look
around you and compare yourself and life with others. You will discover that there are those who
have it a lot better than you do and there are those who have it a lot
worse. No matter what you may think of
yourself or life, there are many who would gladly change places with you. It is human nature to be dissatisfied with
the way things are. It is something that
only the Lord can change in us.
We are confined to
this world. This life is the only life
we know. We are ingrained with the
thought that our contentment and happiness is based on how we fair in the
world. We live to accomplish or attain what
the world offers. Most base their
self-worth by what this life is.
Jesus makes it clear
that when we base our worth on what this life is and live for what the world
can offer us, we will lose what life really is.
Real life is eternal; it is the spirit of man that matters. We are more than flesh and bones; we are
spiritual beings and we will live on forever after we die. When we invest ourselves only in this life,
we will spend eternity in hell. Those
who ignore their souls will pay a huge price for it in eternity.
Only those who value
their souls and invest it in Christ will escape hell and be in heaven after
they die. We must not cling to the
world, but cling to Christ if we want to go to heaven. We must hate what the world offers and love
what God offers. We can't have it both
ways. Those who are in Christ are sold
out to Christ. They live for Him and Him
alone.
