Randy Alcorn from his E-book "Seeing the Unseen."
LIVING FOR THE LINE
When we live with
eternity in view, even washing dishes and repairing carburetors become an
investment in God’s plan. The people who change lives are the ones who point us
away from the world’s short-term perspective to God’s long -term perspective.
Life on earth is a
Dot a brief window of opportunity; life in Heaven (and ultimately on the New
Earth) is a LINE going out from that dot for eternity.
If we’re smart,
we’ll live not for the dot, but for the line. When we view our short today in
light of eternity’s long tomorrow (to use A.W. Tozer’s expression), even the
little choices we make become tremendously important.
After death we
will never have another chance to share Christ with one who can be saved, to
give a cup of water to the thirsty, to serve our church. No wonder Scripture
commands us, “Set
your minds on things above, not on earthly things” (Colossians 3: 2, NIV).
“If then you
have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is,
seated at the right hand of God” (Colossians 3: 1).

Thanks so much for the link-up invite, Hazel! I loved the excerpt from Randy Alcorn's e-book!
"If we’re smart, we’ll live not for the dot, but for the line."
"The people who change lives are the ones who point us away from the world’s short-term perspective to God’s long -term perspective."
Words worthy to take in.
Thanks for sharing H.
