"The Eternal Perspective"
1 John 2:17
New Living Translation
17 And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
Have you ever felt as if you were missing something? Day after day your life slips by and you're certain there must be more. The surest way to live a joyless life is to live outside ofGod's will. Our hearts will never be at peace and our souls will never be satisfied until we're doing what we were created to do.
It's easy to get caught up in what school to go to, what career to choose, and where to carry out our lives. Ultimately, none of the major life decisions we make will bring us joy if they're not made with God's will in mind. But what is God's will? We are to seek justice for the oppressed (Isaiah1:17). Christ followers, as a whole, should be known for kindness (Colossians 3:12). Humility should be evident in our lives (Numbers 12:3). We’ll begin living joyfully when all of our life decisions are based upon God's will.
