How little we know! If only we could realize while we are yet mortals, that day by day we are building for eternity, how different our lives in many ways would be! Every gentle word, every generous thought, every unselfish deed, will become a pillar of eternal beauty in the life to come. We cannot be selfish and unloving in one life, and generous and loving in the next; the two lives are too closely blended—one but a continuation of the other.
What strange ideas we mortals have of the pleasures and duties of this blessed life! We seem to think that death of the body means an entire change to the soul. But that is not the case, by any means. We bring to eternity the same tastes, the same desires, the same knowledge we had before death.
If these are not sufficiently pure and good to form a part of our life in eternity, then we ourselves may not enter. What would be the use of our oft times long lives, given to the pursuit of certain worthy and legitimate knowledge, if at death it all counts as nothing, and we begin life eternal on a wholly different line of thought and study? I would that all could understand that we are building for eternity during our earthly life!
The purer the thoughts, the nobler the ambitions, the loftier the aspirations, the higher the rank we take among the hosts of heaven; the more earnestly we follow the studies and duties in our life of probation, the better fitted we shall be to carry them forward, on and on to completion there.
Isa 57:15
For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
2Co 4:17
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory
Your very life here means everything there. What we sow here we shall reap there. This day is the most important day in your life. Open your eyes to our Father in Thankfulness for your very life. Let Him show you all Truth. His Plan is so very beautiful and eternal and you are a part of it. He waits for you. Here and now on this earth and in this life is your destiny being established. You are establishing it. GOD has given us all the freedom to set our own future.
Job 4:8

Psa 126:5

Hos 10:12

2Co 9:6

1Ti 6:12
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
Gal 6:8-9
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Do Good things for all creation, whether it is a smile for someone or helping someone across the street or sharing the LORD's Word with a friend or someone who hasn't heard or cared about it.
1Peter 2:15
For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men

Tit 3:2

Eph 4:32
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Rom 15:20-21
Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
2Co 5:9
Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
1Th 11-12
And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
Let Father's Hands guide you, not man's hands. He so wants you to see His Beautiful Plan for us all.
When in doubt just stop and pray to Him for guidance and Be Still. If you will listen you will hear,
This is the Way.. Walk in it!!!
The Scriptures listed above are so full of Mercy and Love from our Father. Can we not do the same for our own Brothers? GOD is kind to the unthankful and the evil. I guess that tells us where His heart is. If our Father is doing that could we not do the same?
Our Best Worship is to do His Blessed Will! Our Father never forgets us, but provides pleasures and comforts for us all, according to our Individual needs.
Be ever Thankful for all your Blessings He has surrounded you with. They are more than you can even imagine. His will in your life is perfect for you and trust that His love and tenderness surrounds you always. Everything that happens in your life is for a purpose. Embrace it.........learn from it..........relish in it. Know that there is a reason for it and look upon it from His perspective for the growth and understanding for you.
GOD's Love has given and done so much for us that an eternity of thanksgiving and praise could never repay it.
Growing in the Spirit of Truth out of the love for it and the desire for it to fill your very being. Not to study and labor with it out of some feeling of duty. It is an honor and such a joy to have been provided by our Father the Spirit of HIS TRUTH, for us to be Blessed enough to be able to have access to such is a joy beyond our comprehension. If we could only understand that this TRUTH is reality, we would spend every hour of our life here seeking and soaking in this TRUTH! Keeping within us the patience needed to wait for HIM to reveal to us when HE knows we are ready to receive these Truths and absorb them into our very being. Our Father in Heaven delights to give us such things and watches our growth in HIM with love.

Psa 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
Psa 52:8
But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

Brothers and Sisters as you can see in John 14 our LORD JESUS has prepared a place for us. This place is built by our LORD and kept by Him. There will in no way sin enter in. A place we can live eternal in His Peace and Glory, so perfect in every way we have no words to describe it. I look at the most beautiful creations on this earth and wonder, how could there be any more beauty than this?
But I know in my heart that this is just a glimpse of what our Father has for us.
Rev 21:4-7

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Heb 3:19
So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Open your heart to its very beginnings, way back when you knew where you came from and who gave you life. The LORD God, JESUS of Nazareth is there. He is the beginning and the end.
He cannot help you if you are in unbelief. Even when He was here in the flesh, all is by choice.
Mat 13:58
And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
So you see we are now this very moment building for our eternity. Whether you believe it or not every thought, action or deed is recorded in your very soul and will be played out one day. We all have sinned and this is the very reason that Father came to earth in a very special begotten vessel has JESUS CHRIST to willingly give HIS Blood to atone for our sin that we might live. You see the life is in the blood.
Lev 17:11
For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
Our Father who art in Heaven Blessed is He, what more could He have done folks? I know of no greater Love...Do you?? He is the living GOD of which there is NO OTHER!!!
HE is not made of sticks or stones or anything else that man has constructed to represent some god for them. Making promises that will not be fulfilled. GOD's Word is alive and His promises are true and He fulfills them all. He has proved in the flesh, before our very eyes of resurrection and life. No other god has done this or will do this. Ascending to Heaven after resurrection before our eyes. There is no other that loves you as HE loves you.
Build your eternity now my friends while you still can. In doing so you are sharing this Living Word with all you meet. GOD's Plans are fulfilling as we speak, you are a part of that in one way or another. Listen with your heart and you will hear...........
This is the Way........Walk in it
Be Blessed my friends...
