So, I'm finding that the temporal put next to the eternal makes the former look like brass and glass opposing the gold and precious jewels of our inheritance. When i see the imminent loss which must happen in order to simply have an inheritance – forgive me, I’ve never been very impressed with glamour, dollar bill living suits me just fine – sometimes I’d rather the temporal, the cheap.
So, in order to really emulate the Kingdom lifestyle I know to be true, there must be more than a reward system to pull me forward. There must be a clear understanding of who I am and Who He is and what I deserve and What He deserves. There must be daily death, not to compensate for His death - He’s already taken care of that – but to know Someone who, no matter how close we are, will always remain a mystery. And I think that I’m finding that knowing a mystery is a very motivating pursuit.
