Life is a temporary assignment

You won't be here for long, so don't get attached.

Your identity is eternity. Your homeland is heaven. When you grasp this truth, you will stop worrying about 'having it all' on earth.

"Friends, this world is not your home, so don't make yourself cozy in it. Don't indulge your ego at the expense of your soul."

"All that is not eternal is eternally useless." - C. S. Lewis

In God's eyes, the greatest heroes of faith are not those who achieve prosperity, success, and power in this life, but those who treat this life as a temporary assignment and serve faithfully, expecting their promised reward in eternity.

"All these great people died in faith. They did not get the things that God promised His people, but they saw them coming far in the future and were glad. They said they were like visitors and strangers on earth ... they were waiting for a better country - a heavenly country. So God is not ashamed to be called their God, because He has prepared a city for them."

When life gets tough, when you're overwhelmed with doubt, or when you wonder if living for Christ is worth the effort, remember that you're not home yet. At death you won't leave home - you'll go home.

2 Corinthians 4:18; "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For wghat is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
