WhaT Is FoReVeR?

"All man are like grass,

and all their glory is like flowers of the field;

the grass withers and the flowers fall,

but the word of the Lord stands forever."

1 Peter 1:24-25

It is so true that all possessions, accomplishments, people etc... will eventually fade away and disappear. Only the Ultimate's will, word and work are forever and permanent. We should stop grasping the temporary, and begin focusing our time, money and, energy on the permanent - the word of God and our eternal life in Christ.

I realised that many times we base our self-concept on our accomplishments. But i think our relationship with Christ is far more important than our jobs, successes, wealth, or knowledge. We are God's children, his very love and his own, we are called to represent Him to others. We should remember that our value comes from being one of His children, not from what we can achieve. We have worth because of what God does, not because of what we have done.
