“What
will you do this week that will count for eternity?" I Read
that question on a friend’s Facebook status tonight. What awesome words to live
by! Just made me think of how many ways
my outlook and purpose in life would change if I really lived by that each day.
My overall goal in life is to live with an eternal perspective, but just
breaking that down to “what will I do this week?” or “what will I do TODAY that
will count for eternity?” creates a lot to think about. I know there are changes I need to make in
this area for sure.
If I did
away with everything in my life that won’t make any difference in eternity,
what would be left? If I changed all my desires and things that I hoped for to
being in perfect alignment with God’s desires, what would my heart look like?
If changed everything that I strive for and aim to accomplish each day to what
God sees as important for me to accomplish, what would my days look like? Of
course, as imperfect people we won’t ever be able to live a perfect life like
that, but just living with that eternal perspective each day and keeping our
focus on eternal things will bring us closer and closer to accomplishing that
goal.
"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good
works,
which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.”
~Ephesians 2:10
What will you do this week that will count
for eternity? What will you do today
that will help accomplish your goal for this week?

we talked about this very same thing in sunday school yesterday... how we need to keep our focus on what is truly eternal (and that would mean God and people). Invest in what lasts for eternity!
thank you for the extra challenge!
Mmm...awesome thoughts, Kelli. <3 Really making me think tonight, too. I wonder how different my life would be if I kept "Does this count for eternity" before my eyes every second of every day.... May we live like that! With every breath for our Jesus!!
P.S. I LOVE the song you have playing on your site..."Let it be said of us." What a powerful song, girl! I want to buy it and get it on my playlist now.
