Hereafter…

When you place your hope in the hereafter

This place really seems like it doesn’t matter

But I know that it does

So I have to be careful…

Not to become so detached from the world that I don’t do anything good in it

I’d love to spend all day everyday somewhere

Away from the noise

Away from all the things that are pushing and pulling

Wanting to make me fear

Wanting to convince me to consume

To buy the things they want me to

To solve the problems that were created to

Cause me to

Do the things “they” want me to do

Buy this, eat that, take this, watch that…

The never ending media feed…

That tries to convince me of the things I supposedly lack…

But I I know better than that…

My heavenly Father has helped me to understand

The beauty of my past

And the future that I have

In a place
Beyond space
Where all it takes
Is faith
To win the race

To pass the ultimate test
And finally reach the ultimate rest
