As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I am thinking about the word PERSPECTIVE. No matter how wonderful life seems to be going, if our SPIRIT is crushed, it’s almost impossible for us to experience JOY!
But when our PERSPECTIVE is Heaven, then we can endure almost anything! Fifty years from now, most of us will be long gone. Everything we went through on this earth will have no more meaning. The only thing that will matter is eternal life.
The Scriptures tell us in Romans 8:18, “I consider that the sufferings of the present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us“. Everything we go through, everything that God allows us to experience, is preparing us for an eternal life in HIS presence!
So today, realize that all of the suffering, the pain and loss, is nothing compared to the promise of eternal life, where there will be no more suffering, no more tears or pain. Keep things in PERSPECTIVE and today is going to be an amazing day, one day closer to being with the KING of KINGS.
Have a blessed day!

Good Morning Father Craig , Amen , thank you for your message today . I look forward to that day . Have a Blessed and Beautiful Day ♥️🙏🙏
Beautiful message, Father Craig!
Buon Giorno
A beautiful message, our view, our feelings will taint our present situation by our “PERSPECTIVE.” Therefore, we must focus on all we do have, all the love around us here in this temporary world. Using our cognizance with Devine focus. Our ultimate destination is not here on Earth, it’s with the King of Kings, to walk through the pearly gates, reaching our eternal home.
Our PERSPECTIVE guides our thoughts, why would think of anything less than optimism and happiness? Our Father plans our paths for a reason, it maybe: to make us stronger, to open our hearts to the many less fortunate, to grace our brothers with empathy and consideration, to know our own hurt and sadness might be to truly appreciate happiness. True happiness can not be fully appreciated unless we know and experience pain. We, who have suffered, by the grace of God, truly understand and are grateful for our journey. I give HIM thanks for my pain, as now, I know why HE planned my hurtful path. I wholeheartedly feel true love, true happiness, true joy and true hope for my future.
Your passage, “I consider that the sufferings of the present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us,” is a perfect ending to today’s message, PERSPECTIVE.
Thank you for this message, to remind us our ultimate destination, Heaven!
Bless you
