It doesn't matter...
Think about the one thing you are investing the most into right now. What is it that you think matters the most right now? I mean, when you look at your life, what is it that really stands out as paramount? Unless it is something done for the Lord, it doesn't matter. That sounds harsh, but in ten years, fifty years, after you die, will you really be proud of your current passion? It doesn't matter.
Now, of course I understand that what you are super involved with might actually matter in the lung run, but I think most of us get so worked up about things that are just so insignificant. For most of us, we need to take a long, hard look at what we think is so important.
Wining a dusty trophy. Important?
Facebook. Important?
Youtube. Important?
That really hot party. Important?
New clothes. Important?
Free time. Important?
Work. Important?
iPhone. Important?
Texting. Important?
Internet. Important?
Lots of food. Important?
The best grades. Important?
Tanning. Important?
Sports. Important?
Being popular. Important?
Being more attractive than "them." Important?
I mean, really... how important do you really think these things are in the light of eternity? We get so scared of failure, but what we should really be scared of is succeeding at things at things that don't matter. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 3:13 that "each man's work will become evident," and that the quality of each man's work will be tested in the final judgment.
So my question to you is this: do you really think that your main focus right now is something that matters, or will it be burned up?
Live for eternity.
