Priorities

"I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away....And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." Revelation 21:1, 3-4)

F
or those of you who are like me and hate the feelings of pain, sorrow, stress, grief and burdens....rejoice in the fact there is a better day coming! This life is not without these things. No life on earth is struggle free. But, through the sacrifice and blood of Jesus, we will see the day without it. Wow, gives me goosebumps ! Does is excite you? More than your favorite things on this earth? More than the trip you might be planning on taking next summer? When you think about it, what does it say about our priorities? Where does eternal life rate in your list of priorities?
