This young man walked away from eternal life (heaven) because he loved something more than he loved God. Is there anything for which you would walk away from Heaven?
We all have found that life can be consumed with the “things” that dominate the “here and now,” leaving little to no thought of the “there and then.” Our focus must be on Heaven, even as we discharge the duties of daily life.
Our world is full of sin and the devil is at work trying to get each one of us to follow him to eternal destruction. How great it will be where we enter a relationship with the Lord where the devil is not.
For November, we are Focused on Heaven, and today we begin our focus with the assurance Jesus gave the apostles in the upper room: “that where I am, you will be also.”
