What lasts forever

"What lasts forever" By Diane Webb

II Corinthians 4: 18—"While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."

What you see will not last forever. What will last forever is what you cannot see. The spiritual aspect of everything is what is most important. Do not worry about material things. Do not fret about what is worldly and temporary. Focus on the eternal which is not of this world. Everything on earth is temporary. Even your body is temporary. The spiritual is ever-present. What you see is not everything. Do not get caught up in things that do not matter in the long run—in eternity. Ask yourself "will this matter in eternity?" Most likely the things you stress about will not matter in eternity. Look past what you see to what you cannot see. Always seek the spiritual.

Dear Heavenly Father, please help me look at the spiritual instead of the physical. I do not want to waste my time, energy, or financial resources on that which does not matter. I pray this humbly in Jesus' name, Amen.
