"We've got to quit treating this life as if it were home."

The president of the IMB came and spoke at our chapel time this morning. I have to confess that I was delightfully surprised at what this man had to say. The above is a quote from a woman who was with the IMB and whose husband was killed last year (she herself was also shot up). As God always tends to do with me, He showed me my own selfishness today and that my life is not about me...it's about Him. I get so caught up in my own wants and desires that I forget that I am not here to have a comfortable life where I always feel "at home"...this life is not home...it is simply a brief stay before we go on to our final home. Jesus is great about breaking my selfishness and my pride. I have so much yet to learn. But think about it today...this life is not long and there are no guarentees...where are you going to be spending eternity? Shouldn't you be spending time here getting ready for your time there since that is forever and this is only a few seconds? I don't know about you, but I need and want to fall more in love with Jesus now, while I am on this earth.
