All who trust in Jesus Christ will experience eternity in His presence. In Heaven, there will be no sorrow, death, crying, or pain. However, there is no guarantee that we will not experience regret. Despite our greatest efforts on His behalf, each of us will probably look back on our earthly lives and wish we had done more to advance the kingdom of Heaven. We wont look back out of jealousy or envy or pride, but with the simple wish we would have glorified His name to a greater degree. In Heaven, well have all of eternity to reflect on what we could have done for the Lord. As such, we should take advantage of the time we have left. The things of this world should be of little value to Christians. We know that accumulation of wealth, career advancement, and earthly pleasures have no lasting value. Only a life that gives glory to Jesus Christ has lasting value. So dont waste another moment! Rearrange the priorities of your life and look forward to His coming with great confidence. Live in accordance with the example set by Christ, and you will experience great reward for all of eternity. The time to do so is now, for we never know when our window of opportunity will close forever: Look, I am coming quickly. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take away your crown(Revelation 3:11, NLT). Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End(Revelation 22:12-13, NLT). https://youtube/watch?v=7PXK8mlXu-g&feature=youtu.be
