Eternity...

Hmmm.. i've just been trying to post a pic from angela's b-day party from last week but its not going up!! arghhhh.. hehe....

anyway have been going through Purpose Driven Life n i find it very good. Its really giving me a perspective on eternity. I kinda realise that this life is not forever, its temporary and God has promised so much more to come. So what am I to do? This life is full of challenges and how we face it will affect how we spend eternity! To be faithful in what little we have now and we will be able to be faithful with bigger things when we are entrusted with them in hte future. Its hard in a sense coz its just so abstract. I can't see the end of the line.. i can't see what's gonna happen in the future and its just so easy to fall back and live life for my own gain.

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen itemporary but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:18

It's really like a struggle all the way.. n sometimes you're up sometimes you're down.. so confusing... But i suppose God never promised life would be easy. But He did promise us the strength to carry on.

"His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness." 2 Peter 1:3

To live a life that brings glory to God... He has given us all that we are n i believe true fullfillment, joy, peace, rest... is through Him only.

"Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John 4:13-14
