What Ever You Do..........

Don't Miss Heaven!


An Christian man loved his children dearly and longed for them to be faithful Christians. As they grew older, he did not want to come across as if he was “preaching at them,” so he looked for a way to lovingly encourage them. He eventually came up with the phrase,“Whatever you do, don’t miss heaven!”


When his children reached their teen years and became increasingly exposed to the “pleasures” of the world, he gently implored,“Whatever you do, don’t miss heaven!” When each child graduated and moved out of the house, he lovingly urged, “Whatever you do, don’t miss heaven!” 


Years later, as they were all gathered around his bed as he was taking his final breaths, his last words were, “Whatever you do, don’t miss heaven!”


***********************************************************************************


Wise advice for young and old. Those words should become the motto for every child of God.


When Satan calls, whatever you do, don’t miss heaven! Although momentary pleasures can be found in sin, we must view temptations through the eternal consequences they will bring.


When considering the one whom you will marry, whatever you do, don’t miss heaven! Few people on earth will impact our lives as much the person we marry. Be honest - will this person help or hinder you in getting to Heaven?


When choosing a career, hobby or friends, whatever you do, don’t miss heaven! Virtually every choice we make in life should be evaluated in light of the effect it will have on our soul. Hasty or unwise decisions may cost us everything.


When considering the importance of the Christ's church in your life, whatever you do, don’t miss heaven! The Lord's church must not take a back seat in our lives. Jesus taught that we must “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness...” (Matt. 6:33). The "body of Christ" must be a priority if we desire to please Him.


What is heaven worth to you?  Have you “set your mind on things above” or “on things of the earth” (Col. 3:1-2)?  Whatever you do, don’t miss heaven!




Jesus, always Jesus!
