At a Bible study I attended last night, the four of us there decided we are frustrated and sickened by the world we live in. The more knowledge we gain about our economy, politics, government, or any other topic, the more depressing it can be. We all agreed we have to keep ourselves from focusing on the temporary things of this life and focus on eternity. We were created as eternal beings, and the more time passes the more I realize how important it is to maintain an eternal focus. On my way to work this morning I heard the awesome song Natalie Grant sings called "Human". It was just another reminder that we need to take advantage of every moment on this earth to make a difference for eternity. Here's the chorus:
We gotta do better than this cuz we only got
one chance to make a difference.
We gotta do better than this cuz we only got
one life that we've been given.
A little love, a little kindness, a little light in this time of darkness--
It'll be what makes us different. It'll be what makes us human.
I'm human. You're human, We are human.
Instead of getting depressed, we need to be a little light in the darkness! I'm taking this as a challenge to light up my small corner of the world. Will you accept the challenge, too?
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
