When I think of this side of paradise, I think of the desire to do a go job for my Jesus. We have so little time to live for Christ here on earth. Quite frankly, I know I blow it daily in wasting time for the cause of Christ which is spreading the Good News. Not only should I be about spreading the Good News, I need to live the faith daily in my walk being a shining light to others for Christ. But how are we to be shining lights for Christ? Well Christ came that to serve and not to be served. Jesus said, “…whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:43b-45). I believe we miss this in our lives because we try to make this side of paradise- our paradise. So many of us are in denial that we are even going to die one day, but one thing is for certain we will all exit out of here whether we are old or whether we are young. We must be time savers and not time wasters. So the question for me is, how can I and how can you best serve our Master, Our Creator and Our Redeemer here on earth- this side of paradise. The goal is to love others as ourselves and to serve those in need to the best of our abilities. Because when I get to Heaven- which truly is paradise-the first words I want to hear from my Savior is “Well Done-Good and Faithful Servant.”
