I've been thinking a whole lot about my purpose on this earth. It seems like I'm caught up in a bunch of drama right now, but after really thinking about it, none of that matters very much. Today, I was reminded of my current Myspace quote(this post's title), and the general meaning of it.
What are you doing on earth that will glorify God in Heaven?? In reality, nothing on this earth will matter by the time you reach Heaven. Yes, the things you do and say matter when it comes to glorifying God, but none of it will be of any importance later on. Life on earth isn't even the beginning. The ultimate, eternal life will begin when we meet Jesus face to face in Heaven, where we will worship the Lord day and night, and we will never have to worry about sadness and depression! Ain't that awesome?!
Anyways, what I'm trying to say is that whatever you're struggling with (family, friends, work, relationship drama, etc..) will not matter. We(as humans) spend so much time worrying about our earthly problems, and don't take notice of what really matters to God.
Think of it like this... imagine yourself sitting together with some friends, and one of them starts talking to you, but you're mind wonders and you don't even notice that your friend is talking to you. The next thing you know, he's waving his hands in your face to get your attention. He wants you to listen to what he's saying!.. but you're thinking about something else that probably doesn't even matter.
God is your friend... He's trying to get your attention. He's trying to tell you what's important. If you're too caught up with your own issues, you're going to miss out on what God's saying to you.. which is cast all your burdens on Him. Your purpose on earth is to glorify God and spread the news of Salvation. Our purpose is not to get married to the perfect person. Our purpose is not to get straight A's all through your educational career and go to the best college. Our purpose isn't to own the best company, and have a whole lot of money. Even though these are great achievements, they will not be beneficial in Heaven. You will not reach Heaven's gates and be informed that you led an amazing life through your remarkable earthly achievements. You will be judged on whether you were a Good and Faithful Servant or not. You reach that Heavenly achievement by living each day according to God's plan, and submitting to God when you don't know what that plan is just yet. It's not always easy, but God promises a happy ending(Jer. 29:11).
Are you ready? Are you ready to leave this earth at any given moment? Or are you still caught up in worldly concerns?
