Eternity, for me, is not just angels and harp music for infinity, but I believe it is a place of complete communion with God where my perfected self will be used to praise His name and further His Kingdom. The more we surrender ourselves now to conforming to the image of his Son, Jesus Christ, the more dearer our fellowship will be throughout eternity. He gives us His Holy Spirit to come along side and help us to be what we cannot be on our own. Always be a role model to your family. If you honor your parents in front of your children, it is likely they will honor you in front of their children.
Actions always speak louder than words.
Caesar, today, can be the IRS or your boss. Because God is ultimately in control of all government. He has a plan for this earth, and a plan for your life. Your obedience, with a pleasant attitude, makes life a worthwhile experience. Obedience is better than sacrifice.
