Beliefs or ideas about life that are conceived as being timeless
Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.
Ecclesiastes 3:11
God’s plan is for us to live in Shalom for Eternity. Obviously, we can not be “there” continuously until we join Him. However, through decisions we make every day, we can choose to live a life that is closer to Shalom than we ever dreamed. You CAN do it, but you have to want to and strive to.
Commitment doesn’t always come easy. It’s hard to always do the right thing, our carnal bodies want everything OUR way and right NOW! With God’s power, you can make the right decisions.
Your eternity with God can start as soon as you choose for it to, meaning; you have the power to start living His way now. Living for God is not a casual experience that you think about “sometimes”. You have to treat God like a family member…….how often do you think of your own child/parent/spouse/sibling? How often do you think of your friends’ child/parent/spouse/sibling? See the difference? You must treat God as someone in your immediate family, always in the forefront of your mind. By doing this, your Shalom (Peace) can start today.
Dear God, I want to live for You, I choose to live for You. I love and adore you Lord and will put your first in all my days.
