Ever question what life is about? Do you wonder why we spend our whole lives working, saving, spending, and accumulating "stuff", only to die and leave it all behind? I have these questions and many more sometimes.
I've come to the conclusion that life is about "so much more". This life on earth is only one kingdom- but there is another kingdom!! This earthly life is only the beginning of what God has in store for the rest of our lives (and for your 411- heaven is way more than what we've been taught!! but more on that another time). But anyway... We would be foolish to only focus on the earthly kingdom and the earthly stuff when we can participate in the things of the heavenly kingdom. And it is possible to partake of the heavenly kingdom while we are still earth side. People who are seeking a real relationship with God, where they speak to Him and He actually talks to them too, are tapping into another kingdom. They are able to see into another realm. And that to me is super exciting because I find the thought of living here, only to leave it all, a little depressing. The idea that there is so much more and the fact that we don't have to wait till we die to begin experiencing it, is fascinating to me. It is what motivates me, and drives me to a deeper relationship with Abba Father. The Christian life is mucher more than knowing ABOUT God, its EXPERIENCING Him. It's being "seated in heavenly places". Yes!!
If you question what this life is all about... it might be time for you to go deeper. Because I promise you... "there is so much more"!!
Very Solomonic like thoughts.
