This life we are living in right now here on this Earth is like a vapor.
It's a drop in the bucket compared to eternity. You know what, the average life may be 60
or 70 years, but many people do not even make it that long.
10, 20, 30, 40 years... In spite of eternity, that is no time at all.
But yet all of us, myself included, and you out there...
We make decisions based on this little fraction of life.
We make decisions based on what our "family" wants us to do.
People that we call mother, or dad, or brother, sister, daughter, son...
We make decisions based on the needs of those people,
based on making them happy... But the Lord has shown me, He showed me today.
He reminded me of that Scripture; I believe it't in Matthew 12
where Jesus said, ANYONE THAT DOES THE WILL OF THE FATHER
THAT IS MY MOTHER, THAT IS MY BROTHER, THAT IS MY SISTER.
My friends, we are here one minute and gone the next.
Who is our true family? Just as Jesus said, it's spiritual.
The Body of Christ, those who are filled with the Spirit of the Living God.
Not the people who are just flesh and blood related for just 50, 60, or 70 years.
Think of eternity. That 50, 60, or 70 years is just a drip in
the bucket. Let's start living like it.
Let's start praying like it; praying for our true family,
living for our true family - connected to the Body of Christ.
My friends, let's get our focus off of flesh and blood.
Get your focus off of pleasing flesh and blood. Get your focus on pleasing Jesus and doing
His will. The only way you'll know that, is to be connected
to Him, and be connected to the others that are connected
to Him. Your true family.
Your true brother. Your true sister.
My friends, draw closer to Jesus. Draw closer to the Body of Christ.
In Spirit and in Truth. May Jesus bless you.
