Eternity in View!

My mind and my body may grow weak, but God is my strength; he is all I ever need. Ps 73:26 GNB

Few Lessons:
1. Life itself is a process and a journey. It will teach you lessons and it will take its toll on you. Friends will come your way; some will leave for a reason or no reason; some will stay for a season or two or forever; some will leave indelible prints on the sands of your life. In all these, there are lessons to be learnt, one of the most important is that God alone lasts forever.

2. Life itself is also a cycle. At the point where we were born, we were tiny, helpless and dependent. If you live long enough, life will come back full cycle. You will have strength and vigour as promised by God, but there will be a few things that wisdom will teach you to avoid. In all these, the most important lesson is still this: God alone lasts forever.

3. Life itself is a lesson. It teaches us so many things: the vanity of possessions, the futility of power and the shallowness of pride and position. We spend most of our lives seeking these things, forgetting still the most important lesson: God alone lasts forever.

4. Your life needs just one thing, and that is God himself. Other things will come to you in the process of time: money will be earned, some saved, some spent; possessions will be bought and disposed off; time will come to pass, but your greatest life investment will be what you do with Jesus. When all of life and its trappings are gone, and you are standing by yourself, you may realise that you had spent your life in pursuit of the wrong priorities.

Whatever else you get, get Jesus into your life. He makes the journey worth it. He guarantees you a successful journey: not a trouble-free one, but a favour-filled one. He is all you need, because in him alone lies all that you will ever need for life. His time of favour is here.
