If we really believe what Jesus says, we are choosing to live with an eternal perspective, rather than day to day survival. We make the choice to invest in what really matters, and trust that God will provide everything we need when we tell Him we are ready to be poured out. It means saying that people and these opportunities we have to tangibly love around us are not mere coincidences in our lives, but divine appointments that will matter for eternity.
Unfortunately, this is much easier said than done, but thanks be to God that He is more than willing—expectant, even, to give us the ability to live out what He has called us to. Sending prayers of grace and peace to you as we work out what it really means to believe what Jesus says and LIVE IT.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

What are your thoughts on this? Do you find it hard to live daily with an eternal perspective? How about dying to self? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comment section.
