Heaven – Brian Friedl https://brianfriedl.com Making Your Life's Mission Possible Sat, 21 Oct 2017 13:10:55 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.3.17 64732294 Eternal Intervention https://brianfriedl.com/eternal-intervention/ https://brianfriedl.com/eternal-intervention/#comments Sat, 21 Oct 2017 12:36:17 +0000 http://brianfriedl.com/eternal-intervention/ Have you ever had one of those moments where you needed an intervention in your thought process and God was faithful to provide it? It’s so easy to let the cares of this world keep us from thinking from an eternal perspective regarding our mission here.  This morning God interrupted my thoughts with Revelation 22. 

We do know that our Savior is coming back and He is bringing with Him the reward!  The fruit of our lives will be evident to all.  Those that have placed their trust in Jesus and His finished work at the cross will live with Him in paradise.  Those that have tried to fake trust or disregarded Him will be separated from Him for eternity. 

Reflection

We must not let worldly impulses control our thoughts and actions.  The more we truly love Christ the less likely we are to be caught in the snares of this world.  Let’s keep our eyes on Jesus!

Do you love Christ?

What are you doing to invest in your relationship with Him?

Reading, praying serving? How are you seeing Him move in your life on a daily basis?

Prayer

Gracious God, what an awesome God you are!  The more we love you the more we have joy and obedience!   Thank You Jesus, that You have overcome the world; that nothing is impossible with You!  Give us the sincere desire to spend time investing in our relationship with You.  For You are the answer to every question in our lives.  We love you..Amen!

Being a believer should result in a longing to be with our wonderful Savior in heaven. There are days when we’ve had enough of living in this fallen world and are more than ready for  the ultimate joy with no more pain no more tears!

Along with this longing; however, is the heart of God and the necessity of carrying out His mission. You’re needed here by the ones who need to see  Jesus and hear about Him from you.  As Paul put it to be with Jesus is “very much better” but it is “more necessary” to remain here carrying out God’s plan.

I believe keeping your eyes on Jesus equips you to do both. It prevents us from losing our passion and longing to be with Him and at the same time energizes us to bring him honor and glory by sharing His truth and grace. 

Who is it around you that needs the love of Jesus today? Will you grasp the necessity of your involvement and live out what you were rescued for?
