WHY I AM HERE
I have a rather simple philosophy as to this life. I see my time on earth as very brief and radically different from my future forever life with God. Because of this, I have come to a rather logical conclusion. I’m here on earth to do things for God that I can never do for Him in Heaven and I only have a short time left to do them. Here is some of what I can only do on earth that I’ll never be able to do in Heaven. This seems both pleasing to God and fulfilling to me.
I can share the Gospel with those who have never heard.
I can teach those who don’t know.
I can light the darkness and give hope to the hopeless.
I can encourage the discouraged and faint hearted.
I can dry the tear of a crying child.
I can love the unlovely, unloved and unlovable.
I can give someone who is thirsty a cup of cold water.
I can feed those who are hungry, help heal those who are sick, give shelter to those who have none and give a blanket to those who are cold.
I can give shelter to those who are without.
I can even love my enemies and forgive those who violate me.
In Heaven there will be no sin or darkness, no sickness, no hunger, no want or pain, no enemies of any kind just eternal joy, thanksgiving, praise and worship of almighty God forever. It makes sense to me to do what I can for God while I’m here on earth so my time in eternity will be more of a joy for myself and others.
In Heaven there will be no clocks or calendars, we won’t be wearing watches; there will be no time as we know it. On the other hand, here on earth, we only have a few precious moments to accomplish our unique and divine calling.
Please excuse me to do the urgent, that which can only be done here and now.
