Day 4: Made to last Forever God has planted eternity in the human heart. Ecclesiates 3:11 Surely God would have created such a being a man to exist only for a day! No, no, man was made for immortality. Abraham Lincoln This Life is preparation for the next. When you fully comprehend that there is more to life than just here and now, and you realize that life is just a preparation for eternity, you will begin to live differently. Values change- Paul said " Once I though all these things were so very importnat, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done. " Philippinas 3:7 Every act of our lives strikes some chord that will vibrate in eternity. My Reflection: Question: Since I was made to last forever, what is one thing taht I should stop doing and the one thing that I should start doing today? The one thing that I should stop doing are my bad habits and bad attitudes. Specically, my mouth...A closer look on my attitude would be more of a happier me. Trying to overcome the snares of the enemy. Its my struggle eveytime I open my mouth. I offer this weakness to God. I know sometimes I may not mean the things I say, i know some are hurt, some feel ofended. It seems as though Im so frank that I tend to say things so bluntly. And often I always have to say something negative or I have to crtiticize which I have realized- its not a pleasant attitude. And one thing that I should start doing is to keep quite if dont have anything constructive to say to other people, and as much as possible I should learn to appreciate and see the positive side of things that I see around me. Its a constant sruggle to reveal the new me, though its never easy but I will try to reveal the new me. For anyone who is in Christ is anew creation the old has gone and the new has come.

stop doing sins, especially those that will end up hurting other feelings...start loving your neighbors as you love God and yourself.

It is always wise to mean what you say and say what you mean. If there is nothing constructive to say, or that what you are going to say is going to offend people, don't say. This is what I have been trying to practice.

Have faith in Jesus that God will make you a better person. Accept that you are weak and that you need Him more than anything. It's in accepting that we are weak, we are made strong by God.

Yes I have always faith in Jesus and I am confident that He will always be by my side supporting me all the way. And that He made me to last forever and I thank HIm for giving me this life to glorify HIm alone. Have a nice day!
