I've often said why does God leave us here on earth, once we accept Christ, once we're in the family, why didn't he just kill us. Why leave us here? Well, because he's working on our character through these trials, these tribulations, we're learning to practice what we're going to do in heaven. So really, the kingdom mindset is actually the eternal mindset. It's not just about eternal life. Eternal life is getting ready for that.
Rick WarrenIt is impossible to do everything people want you to do. You have just enough time to do Godโs will. If you canโt get it all done, it means youโre trying to do more than God intended for you to do.
