PDL - Day 6

2 Corinthians 4:18 "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
DAY 6 - Life is a Temporary Assignment


Life is extremely brief and Earth is just a temporary residence so don't get too attached. This is not our final destination. We are just passing through. We are not citizens of this world but rather we are citizens of heaven. Our time here on earth is not the complete story of our life.

This chapter gave me a lot to think about. It's just sad that I have lived my all my life with the wrong perspective. I haven't viewed life on earth this way before. And sadly that's how this generation is being raised. Everything around us is telling us to acquire more, to be more, to have more. Our generation is so self-centered that we miss the fact that this life is not all there is! There is something MORE than is waiting for us. HEAVEN. We are so taken away by the need of having all the latest gadgets, clothes, money. We are being taken away by the need of  being popular and powerful. That in the process we are working so hard to get TEMPORARY CROWNS. Many christians drift away from God when life gets harder because they thought that following God would bring them wealth and success when completely He has so much MORE for us. We should remember that Paul was faithful but he ended up in prison. John the Baptist was so faithful but he was beheaded. But the end of life is not the end! A lot of people are afraid to die since they thought that they are leaving home but in reality THEY ARE GOING HOME. :)

I should definitely change the way I am living my life today. I admit that I am deceived that to be able to have a full life i should experience everything, have everything here in earth but I'm not gonna live that way any more. I will make it a point to value what will last forever. To look at everything here on earth as temporary. I'm gonna have my eyes focused in HEAVEN. :)

MARIEL!

HAHA whaT mariel means by urban dictionary XD SUPER LOL A girl that is very spontaneous that always has some amazing advise to give. She'll always be there even if she has something better to do. Basically the best person you can meet in life. =] also, very talented. "Dangggggg that Mariel girl has got it going on!!!" Not, as said by other people, a slut, but in fact a highly intelligent, sarcastic, virgin. They frequently sigh at the stupidity that they are surrounded with Jazz: I dont dress slutty, i get all A's, AND my IQ is 120 Ho: Psshaw! Your SUCH a Mariel. Im going to go have sex with 10 diffrent guys then fail all my tests and repeat the grade! A dumbass who has no idea what is going on around her (or him but that would be weird) Mariel thought there was fifty-one states yesterday, so i slapped her and she shut up.

BOOM!

mY 4th yr project in values.. as i remember it.. our teacher asked us to choose which philosophy is best applied in our lives.. and this is how i did it! :)) --- HAHAHA ANG HABA PALA XD --- I, my self, prefer to be more of a realist. Realism is seeing things as what they truly are. It is not wrong to dream and to create a vision of what you want to be or how things you want to be in the future but being able to see the true value of a certain object is, to what I believe, is a blessing. I once read in a book, though it is only in the writer’s opinion, it says that when you die you will not actually go to this “paradise” but instead God will give you the chance for Him to explain your life and that will be the greatest gift you can ever receive. I believe in that. That being able to see the real meaning why you have met this certain someone, experienced this certain situation and felt those certain feelings will be the best reward one can ever receive. Through realism, we can achieve th
