This past weekend, I heard a sermon on the two views of life, John’s and Herod’s. John’s view had the focus that there is SOMETHING better than life, and there is SOMETHINGworse than death. Herod’s view was the exact opposite. His was that there is NOTHING better than life, and there is NOTHINGworse than death. I would love, as well as I know all of you, to say that our view of life and death is that of John’s. But what hurts most is realizing that my everyday view is Herod’s. However, what’s most important for me to realize that my motto of life is okay to have! “Live everyday to the fullest!”It’s okay to have a “bucket list” of crazy things to do before you die, I truly think that God gets a kick out of watching us live our lives. But what needs to be incorporated in every moment, is Him. He needs to be thanked, He needs to be focused on, and He needs to be your every reason to do something. It’s a lot to take in I know! But realizing this, and I hope that I help you all to realize, that our life here on Earth is not supposed to be our everything. Our eternal life in Heaven is a trillion billion times more greater and lovely than anything we can ever do here. When our focus is on money, image, and success, what is that really saying? What are you living your life for? The question should really be, WHO are you living your life for?
