Day 6

Day 6
Point to ponder: This world is not my home.

Verse to remember: " So we fix our eyes not one what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Cor. 4:18(NIV)I don't know about you but I don't want God to be ashamed to be called my God. I want to be a good representative for Him. But How I am far from perfect. Thank God that Jesus' perfect blood covers my sin.
I'm glad my time on earth is not the complete story of my life. It's refreshing to know that in heaven I will not be labeled " Divorced woman" that I am. All the earthly labels that I've acquired throughout my life will not stick to me there. I'll be a princess of God the Creator, King of the universe. Oh wait a minute. I am already a princess of God the Creator, King of the universe. And although my earthly labels stick to me like Glue I'm forgiven so they don't have to bother me anymore. My Bad.

Question to consider: How should the fact that life on earth is just a temporary assignment change the way I am living right now? I want to remember that all the things I do throughout the day that consume so much of my time are useless unless I let God be involved. I want his love and joy to be evident in everything I do,and say etc. I just don't necessarily know how to do that in certain situations, Like when I'm frustrated with my feeble attempts to teach my children something and they just don't grasp it. or when everything around me is going wrong and I'm overwhelmed with this and that. I need a way to remind myself that it's all just earthly things that don't really matter as much as I feel they do. It's OK if my house is not spotless , or that I didn't get all my paper work done today, or that I didn't get as far as I thought I should have with the kids in school today. What really matters is did I spend good quality time with God today, and did my children and others in my life know that I love them. Did they want to know God better as a result of spending time with me or interacting with me. Did we laugh together today and hug and say I love you. I wish I could say differently but most of these things just do not come natural for me. Let's pray for each other that God will help us stay focused on today's point to ponder. This world is not my home
