Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life.

I am selfish. I dont like to share my stuff partly cause I assume everyone should be smart and pre plan every aspect of life just like I do. I am often disappointed in my expectations and hence try not to! I love my life at any given point. Of course I have regrets but I know I am thankful and respectful to God almighty for my life too and love it intensely. But does that mean I will lose my chance at eternal life! ?!

No of course not!

As humans we have tendency to try to think of worldly pleasures and not realise our ultimate goal is to reach the heavenly abode. We forget we are all part of a higher plan and get caught up in the rat race ! Whether it is at work or finances or worse love life! we Just think beyond..

Today Jesus inspires you to be better and humble people with a focus on the heavenly life! It is indeed tough and every step of the way we need support through prayer and scripture reading! Let us try to implement atleast one!

AMEN

  3. Thank you, Analise. Like you, I don’t want to die right now, and thank God for each day alive. But as I get older, I also long for the day I hope to see Jesus, and see the great love he has for me, which I sometimes find hard to really believe here on earth.

  5. Analise, Thank You for the emphasis on Prayer and Scripture!! As a Charismatic contemplative soul, I wish that I had immersed myself in scripture sooner in my life. Well, maybe that will be my opportunity to mentor. I also love the brevity of your reflections. No Fluff, you get right to the point. Thank You, Mark!

  6. I love your reflections Analise. A good reminder is to embrace life with discipline and you will soar to heights unimaginable, remembering Jesus is your source for discipline. God bless! ❣️
