How to invest for eternity!

Your life is God's good gift to you. No matter how difficult your circumstances, your life has far more potential than you have ever realized. Your life has only begun. It is your great opportunity. It is yours to invest or to spend. You can do more significant things with your life than you have ever realized, and this message is written to help you make a wise investment of it. No matter what your age, it is never too late to start planning and investing for eternity.

You were created for life. In fact, it is impossible for you to cease to exist. Once created, no human being can escape existence. The question is, will it be only existence? Or, will it be life in the fullest, most wonderful sense of that term? It is not merely a question of heaven or hell. It is a question of all that heaven can include for you. The Bible points to great differences in the rewards of heaven. More than you have realized your future reward is in your own hands. Your daily choices have eternal consequences, and God does not choose for you. You yourself must choose wisely.

Lord Jesus came that you might have life in its most wonderful sense, "and have it to the full" (John 10:10). No matter how good your life is Jesus wants to make it better. No matter how satisfying it has been thus far, Jesus wants to make your future far more satisfying. God always has tremendous plans for you. Let me remind you again: "I know the plans I have for you, "declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,' declares the Lord" (Jer.29: 11-14).

As surely as God is in heaven, He has better plans for you tomorrow than you have ever realized thus far. The question is this: will you use your today so that your tomorrow can be the greatest possible? Will you make the right decision and use your life today so God can carry out His full plans for your tomorrow? Be encouraged!
