Living: Perishable or Unperishable …
Acts 27:22 ~ But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be lost; only the ship will be destroyed.?
Abba Father good morning ~ Living among the ways of this world. Our thoughts. Our emotions. Our beliefs. Our actions. Our very way of life will live challenged. Intentionally or unintentionally; our life becomes inter-tangled with material possessions occupying space, taking time, draining energy, consuming resources. Ever so gradually our life accumulates possessions of replaceable worth within the ways of this world. Worth is a value of something deemed purposeful, by someone for specific reason. If truly honest with ourselves. What material possessions is our life clinging tightly too with a grip of unwillingness to let go. Everyone puts value on something. Some might have memorial remembrance. Some might be a precious memory. Some might be a personal achievement. Some might be a treasured gift. Some might be just because. Take some time. Reflecting throughout this day with extreme urgency. What is slowly devouring our time, our energy, our resources? There is absolutely nothing our life can earn, create, or purchase of sustainable worth, sustainable value, or sustainable significance from the ways of this world. Our life will personally retain absolutely nothing from this world after our last heartbeat. Our last breath. Our last conversation. Our last moment of this life within this world. The living bible is very clear, crystal clear. Everything this worldly world clings tightly too, will pass-away in a known but unknown moment of time. It will all be destroyed, everything. Our life will take just about nothing within that last heartbeat, that last breath, that last conversation. Our life will leave it all behind. What our life will take will be determined by our inner-core faith. What our life believes. What our life accepts. Who our life trusts. Who/what our life is willingly following. All will stay actively alive deeply within our heart, our mind, our soul. Our very inner-core of thriving life. The living bible teaches about everlasting life. Life living forever within the darkness of confining fiery hell. Or life living forever within the protective promise of everlasting life in heaven; life of abundance within the gleaming purifying light of engageable freedom within heaven above. One lifestyle living isolated forever within the darkness of fiery hell. Another lifestyle living unified within the cleansing, redeeming, restoring purification within heaven above; all engageable within the family of disciples within God the Father ~ God the Son ~ God the Holy Spirit. How we live our life within this world determines the impact our life leaves behind forever and ever within family, friends, and all of life. Our thoughts, our beliefs, our emotions, our actions, our way of life; all will impact generations upon generations. Is our life spending our time acquiring possessions of replaceable worldly value? Or is our life building a family of relationships, never to perish? The question our life must ask ourselves is what is everlasting wealth? What lifestyle is our life choosing too actively live. Paul is encouraging our life to live within living faith: heavenly faith within Our Living God, Our Lord Christ Jesus, Holy Spirit. Engageable faith to keep living boldly, courageously, fearlessly within perseverance. Our life staying on course; living within heavenly truthfulness. The living bible is full of living affirmation, life-changing encouragement, undeniable faithfulness, protective promises from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21. Engageable promises teaching our life how to encounter. How to endure. How to live among/within persecutions, trials, temptations, uncertainties of the ways of this worldly world. Our life has a living promise; engageable promise within The Lord Our God; who is loving this whole world. A protective promise to never leave us, never forsake us, never abandon us. Each day presents a new beginning for our life with fresh gifts, new gifts, engageable gift of life-changing undeserved grace. Our life intimately living within a new life. Our life actively living within engageable life from heaven above: life-changing gifts breathing everlasting life (Holy Spirit) into life’s brokenness (our sinfulness) within anointed sustainable life (Christ Jesus) within everlasting life in heaven (Abba Father). Heavenly gifts cleansing, redeeming, restoring new life of abundance into the worldly sinfulness thriving among this world. Living hope engaging our life. Heaven above intimately engaging purposefully within our life. The holy bible is very clear, crystal clear. Not one of you, no one will be lost who willingly lives believing, accepting, trusting, following within Our Lord Christ Jesus. Everyone who calls on the name of The Lord Our God will live actively saved, intimately saved, heavenly saved. Remember ~ Our life will have a choice, a decision, a way of life to choose. Our life can willingly engage within satan’s everlasting darkness of fiery hell, living isolated forever. Or our life can willingly live within living hope, agape love, sacrificial forgiveness, everlasting life in heaven. Intimate gifts fully engageable from heaven above within God the Father ~ God the Son ~ God the Holy Spirit. What our life is actively engaging will be the lifestyle living deeply within our heart, our mind, our soul never to perish. Everyone is leaving a lasting impression on this world in some way. Is our life living engaging this world of perishable possessions or is our life living engaging within real lives for generations to come? One lifestyle will live within fiery hell, destroyed forever. The other lifestyle will live engaging within heaven above: restoring hope, nurturing love, extending forgiveness. Filling the kingdom of heaven with real lives, real hearts, real minds, real souls. Never forget choices matter, decisions count, our way of life will make an impact. Reflect with extreme urgency. What lifestyle is our life actively living within forever. Our life must live alertly. This life, it counts.
