Your work and life on earth is but for a moment in comparison to the infinite span of eternity. Your earthly sojourn is an opportunity for spiritual growth and to make choices that will draw you closer to Me. Your life is a journey of spiritual development, which works to transform you into My image with ever-increasing glory (2 Corinthians 3:18 NIV).
Take advantage of your time on earth to contemplate My glory and to grow into the person I created you to be for eternity. Abide in Me and My Word (John 15:7), be faithful to dwell in My presence through times of prayer and communion with Me, and be vigilant to not allow the things of this world to encroach on your walk with Me (1 John 2:15-16). As you cultivate the vision for eternity and the awareness that your actions and decisions have eternal consequences, you will not be conformed to the things of this world. You will be transformed by My Spirit, and you will be able to discern My good and perfect will (Romans 12:2).
Your love for Me will inspire you to draw close to Me, as you let My Word dwell in you more richly (Colossians 3:16). When everything else has passed away‚ My Word will still remain (Matthew 24:35). Even as this world fades away with all its desires, everyone who seeks to do My will shall abide forever (1 John 2:17).
