Maybe it’s my age but I’m not seeing life like I used to. I am no longer focused on now, or dreams and plans 10 years out, or 20 years. Instead, my focus is way beyond this life to then which grows sweeter and more full of hope each day.
Hope is seeing now through the lens of then.
Hope is living my purpose with urgency as there may not be 10 years or even tomorrow.
Hope is living with certainty that I was created for then, created as a citizen of heaven.
Hope is packing the important things to prepare for my permanent Home (valuing what God values, telling others about Him and the things I'm learning, sharing the fruit of His Spirit).
Hope is anticipating that 10,000 years of joy and peace with God and His family will only scratch the surface.
Hope is knowing Jesus is praying for me now while I live here.
Christ gives hope now because of then.
