*********************
It is completely mind-boggling to have God even consider letting us be a part of his eternal kingdom. Yet the reality is that he’s thrown the door wide open to us! He hasn’t called us in grudgingly as slaves; he’s called us as his closest friends, he’s called us as his children. He’s literally given us his kingdom, he’s made us co-inheritors with Jesus.
No matter what prospects or opportunities you have available to you now or in the future, I guarantee you the kingdom of God will out-reward them, outlast them, out-thrill them, out-fulfill them, and will become increasingly valuable as time goes on. Nothing earth has to offer can match it.
Seek the kingdom of God with everything you have. Look for God to offer you opportunities to choose his kingdom over your own, and then dive in without hesitation. Don’t settle out for sweet chariot fire insurance – ask God to show you how to throw yourself, your time, your focus, your resources, your heart into the kingdom of God right now. If you do this, you will never ever be disappointed; Christ Jesus himself is your guarantee that you will reap amazing rewards both in this life, and the life to come >>
