To make the most of your life, you must keep the vision of eternity continually in your mind and the value of it in your heart.

Measured against eternity, our time on earth is just a blink of an eye...

Death is not your termination but your transition into eternity, so there are eternal consequences to everything you do on earth. Every act of our lives strikes some chord that will vibrate in eternity.

Why would God provide heaven on earth when he's planned the real thing for you in eternity?

While we worry about how fast we grow, God is concerned about how strong we grow. God views our lives from and for eternity, so he is never in a hurry.
