Like the prodigal son, we often allow short-term pleasures to displace our long-term rewards. If only we could understand the beauty of God's inheritance for us! “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love him.” (I Corinthians 2:9)
Whatever we grasp and fight for here in this life will fade away, but God's eternal promises for us will go on forever!
