The light or perspective of Eternity is very important in the life of a Christian.
Had a bad day in office? In the light of eternity it is nothing.
Someone scratched your car? In the light of eternity before us it is absolutely nothing.
Take your pick – someone rude to you / you damaged an important item / you had some misfortune and lost money? In the light of eternity before us all of this is absolutely nothing.
The most serious calamity we can think of is the departure of our loved ones, but again in light of eternity? In a few years’ time we too will leave this planet and join them, never to be separated again. If you properly think about it, it is exactly like a family member migrating to a better country to live in with the option for you to join them in some time. In light of eternity, even a gap of 100 years between departing and meeting up again with our loved ones is less than 1/1000000th of a second.
My encouragement to all Christians is to live life from this perspective. Focus on things that truly matter and leave the rest to God.
You are seated with Christ in heavenly places, view everything from that vantage point.
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: (Ephesians 2:6).
