It never surprises me to take a look at daily news feeds and see the main underlying theme. Mankind is on a constant search for a "Real" connection with someone or something that satisfies the deep cry within. As much as the news/system of this world has a level of interest and appeal to our sense of right, wrong, and entertainment/excitement/flesh stimulation, it will never be as exciting as discovering your "Real" life. In my own life, I have started to change my focus over the years towards my "Real life" and found the results to be much more exciting than the alternative. In Colossians 3:2-4 gives you one example where this life is located. Let's quick see what it says: "Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory." So, the focus and receiving mode of making it our determined purpose to know the One who holds all things together (Colossians 1:17) will cause us to find our "Real life".
As eternal spirit beings, we are always going to exist. Our relationship with our creator does not have to wait for intimacy until we get to heaven someday. See, if you really want to influence the world to receive the free gift of salvation we may want to experience the reality of it as well. Your heavenly Daddy wants to pour out His love and favor on you now-today! He longs for you to find that motivation, propelling you to spent time learning about the nature, attributes, and infinite love He has to share with you now....not wait till this world passes away. Jesus prayed in John chapter 17 that we may know the Father and that is what eternal life really is (John 17: 3).
There is no end to the affection that He has for you. When you were at your worst, God saw it and sent His Son anyway to give you the opportunity to fellowship with Him immediately. He's not mad at you...your real life is hidden in the riches of Christ Jesus...find out all you can about this life birthed in the loving heart of God before eternity past. Blessings :-)
