Press on—don’t look back. Having a goal is
a good thing. I worked for many years with three ambitious young men who always
had goals—besides working 40-50 hours a week. They always had vacation plans.
Big plans like fishing in New Zealand, climbing in the Himalayans, snow skiing
near Bend, Oregon, or taking the family to Spain. Always nice vacations. My vacations—camping with the family in the mountains—seemed
kind of simple. That was a good goal for us—it was a prize we longed for and
planned for—the 4th of July around the campfire together! Now our
goal is a bit loftier—Heaven. I plan to go there someday and hope to take as
many family, friends and acquaintances with me as possible. How do I plan to do that? Well—I’ve gotta share
the gospel with as many others as possible. That’s the hard part. It is beyond my comfort zone—except here on my
blog. I’m not one for knocking on doors
or talking about Jesus to strangers in the grocery store. If you read this…Do you know Jesus? Who is He to you? Do you
know that His Father loved you…and everyone so much that He allowed Jesus to
die—a sacrifice for all humanity—so that we can be purified and go to be with
Him in Heaven one day? It’s the truth. A truth that will set you free—free from
sin—free from spiritual death. Sure
our bodies will all die—but our soul lives on forever. Our souls will either
live with Jesus in Heaven…or without Him in hell. No other choices. We make
that ultimate choice when we press on to our goal…Heaven or Not Heaven (hell).
Which will it be for you?
Prayer
~ Holy Spirit—as the time draws closer to the Day of the Lord…or my day with
the Lord…help me to boldly share the plan of salvation—the hope of Heaven with
everyone I meet. It is my goal—and I press on towards this upward call.
