“I must keep alive in myself the desire for my TRUE COUNTRY, which I shall not find till after death; I must never let it get snowed under or turned aside; I must make it the main object of life to press on to that other country and help others to do the same.”
-CS Lewis
You were designed to keep eternity in mind. Humans are the only mammals who are able to track past, present and future. Why did God give us this ability? Perhaps so that we might focus on living “not as unwise, but as wise, making the most of every opportunity.” (Ephesians 5:15-17).
When we live with the end in mind, that God is going to set all things right. He is going to “make all things new” (Rev. 21: 5), it changes everything.
Every.
Single.
Thing.
Will be RESTORED.
Isn’t that amazing?
Even now, we are receiving an UNSHAKEABLE KINGDOM, and our future is beautiful and secure so…
In light of this truth, How might we best design our current life?
- Live today expectantly
- Hold fast to the One who’s holding fast to you
- Dream and Co-create with God
- Live bold lives
- Wake up to the dreams and ambitions He’s placed within you
Yes, there is brokenness and suffering. We are in a battle and spiritual warfare is real. Yet anchoring ourselves in the truth of our ultimate destination enables us to wake up and live fully alive with Jesus now. It equips us to handle the ups and downs of this broken world, because we know we have a Savior who’s holding on to us, and who holds our ultimate future in His hands.
If you woke up to your beautiful future and kept your “true country” in mind through your day, how would that change how you live today?
