Created for a Place I've Never Known!

Created for a place I’ve never known!
WOW!
I heard that song today on the way to work and I have been singing it ever since.
By the way the song is by Switchfoot, "This is Home"
Have you ever thought about the phrase "Created for a place I've never known?"
It says it all. God created us for heaven to be with him eternally. He only put us here so that we could recruit for him. He ultimately created us so that we could live a perfect eternal destiny!
Wow!!!
If this is true, why do we put so much emphasis on what we are doing here on earth? Who cares if we are cool? (cause we all know I am not) Who cares how many people are our friends if we aren't leading them to our eternal destiny?
Why do we spend so much time and money on material things? Why do we care if we look the best, or have the most? I do think our body is a temple and we should take care of it, don't get me wrong there. But, all the extra money and time we put into that, we could be spending leading others to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Why do we justify the things we do, because it isn't the worst thing we could be doing? Shouldn't we err on the side of righteousness instead of getting as close as we can to the sin without committing it?
God says don't be lukewarm! In Revelation 3:16, it says:
"So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth."
Do we not get it? If we aren't on fire for God, he wants to spit us out!!! He would rather us not claim Him if we aren't willing to live for him!
I know I am not perfect, and I do lots of things to disappoint God, believe me! I just hope that I am investing in a wonderful opportunity to make a difference in the life of a child! I also want to leave with my children that their mother loved God and believed He would provide!
He created us for a place we have never known! He didn't create us to have a good time in our earthly bodies..........let's think about it!
I ask if you read this, to hold me accountable to this truth! If it isn't going to further His kingdom, I would rather not be involved, and I hope I remember this.
God bless you and I hope you all have a great October!
