NOT EVEN A BUMP

NOT EVEN A BUMP

Man always thinks he is more important than he really is. All of life tends to move to center stage as time moves on. Moving into adult hood the common attitude of, it's all about me, takes over. Deep inside is the feeling that,"if I die the world will go into mourning and never be the same. 

The hard cold facts are, you won't even make a bump in the road. Trains, boats, cars and planes will run as usual. Banks will open, postal service and retailers will keep pace and the party will go on without you. There will be a few mentions of your name, like, "too bad about so-n-so isn't it"? Would you care for another drink"? As a matter a fact you are so insignificant on earth, you will not even attend your own funeral. 

Unless you have reached a national or world recognition status, except for a possible few hundred people, your passing will not even be mentioned. A few days of sadness will be experienced for some and maybe one person will never be the same without you, but you must realize you are not a big deal on earth. 

Here in My kingdom it is very different, you as a soul are more valuable that the whole world. I see My creation of the human soul as the most beautiful work in existence, and you are part of that creation. Your value continually goes up as you allow Me to build My character in you. Eternal beings are valued by their longevity, therefore every born again soul is more valuable than the whole physical world.

When the earth is nothing but a cinder, you will remain a living soul. With the earth being non-existent, now reconsider your value. Why do you spend so much time trying to impress a world that will never even know you left. Focus your attention here in the eternal kingdom where you really count. Focus your time, your money, your thoughts and your physical energy here, where you never loose your reward. 

Keep your mind fixed on Me, and you will see that it's not all about you anymore but it's about Me. Your value system will completely change and the world will be baffled at your lack of interest in the things they deem of utmost value. Every offer they make will be weighed on kingdom scales and it's value will drop to zero. Material goods have zero value here in the kingdom, so the more you focus on the kingdom, the faster their value drops.

When all material goods have reached zero value, you are in the kingdom. The things you wear, the car you drive, the food you eat and the money you make, only have value as long as they are tools, used to do kingdom business on earth.

If you are a wise master builder, you will not waste another  single moment trying to impress a world that identifies you with a number and considers you expendable. Be smart focus everything up here and eternally increase your eternal value.

Matthew 16:26 (AMP)
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life his blessed life in the kingdom of God? Or what would a man give as an exchange for his blessed life in the kingdom of God?

John 12:43-45 (AMP)
For they loved the approval and the praise and the glory that come from men instead of and more than the glory that comes from God. They valued their credit with men more than their credit with God. [44] But Jesus loudly declared, The one who believes in Me does not only believe in and trust in and rely on Me, but in believing in Me he believes in Him Who sent Me. [45] And whoever sees Me sees Him Who sent Me.

Matthew 10:28-33 (AMP)
And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather be afraid of Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell (Gehenna). [29] Are not two little sparrows sold for a penny? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father''s leave (consent) and notice. [30] But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. [31] Fear not, then; you are of more value than many sparrows. [32] Therefore, everyone who acknowledges Me before men and confesses Me out of a state of oneness with Me, I will also acknowledge him before My Father Who is in heaven and confess that I am abiding in him. [33] But whoever denies and disowns Me before men, I also will deny and disown him before My Father Who is in heaven.

1 Peter 1:24 (KJV)
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

1 Peter 1:23-24 (AMP)
You have been regenerated (born again), not from a mortal origin (seed, sperm), but from one that is immortal by the ever living and lasting Word of God. [24] For all flesh (mankind) is like grass, and all its glory (honor) like the flower of grass. The grass withers and the flower drops off,

Colossians 3:2-5 (AMP)
And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth. [3] For as far as this world is concerned you have died, and your new, real life is hidden with Christ in God. [4] When Christ, Who is our life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in the splendor of His glory. [5] So kill (deaden, deprive of power) the evil desire lurking in your members those animal impulses and all that is earthly in you that is employed in sin: sexual vice, impurity, sensual appetites, unholy desires, and all greed and covetousness, for that is idolatry (the deifying of self and other created things instead of God).

Matthew 6:19-21 (AMP)
Do not gather and heap up and store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust and worm consume and destroy, and where thieves break through and steal. [20] But gather and heap up and store for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust nor worm consume and destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal; [21] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
