Whatever you do, do well. For when you go to the grave, there will be no work or planning or knowledge or wisdom. -Ecclesiastes 9:10 (New Living Translation)
I touched on this awhile ago (refer to day 10) but now that i've found this, it expresses my thoughts on this where my words fail. But my question to everyone, well those who follow christ, is WHY do we fear man over christ? Should it not be the other way around?!?!
At the end of it all we'll be in his arms, well, spirtually speaking, we are right now. But we'll be in heaven then.
It seems so tragic that everyone under the sun suffers the same fate. That is why people are not more careful to be good. Instead, they choose their own mad course, for they have no hope. There is nothing ahead but death anyway -Ecclesiastes 9:3 (New Living Translation)
But as christians that should not be our mindset, this explains why:
Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity. Until I get there, focus on reading the Scriptures to the church, encouraging the believers, and teaching them.
-1 Timothy 4:12 (New Living Translation)
That is the reason why I act the way I act, you should to. As my youth pastor said, you may very well be the only representation of christ anyone ever gets. And I sure know I want everyone to experience this love, compassion, and security that I have the oppurtunity to experience everyday. Set an example.
