“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails… And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” (1 Corinthians 13:4-8a,13 NIV)
We never know how far our life will extend. Do you believe this remarkable truth?
Heaven will hold breathtaking surprises for many who think what they do is unimportant. Amid the hallelujahs and hugs many will be honored for simple, yet life-changing acts of redemption. And the greatest thrill will be when our Lord Jesus looks into seemingly insignificant individuals' eyes and says, "Well done. I appreciate the redeeming love you've shown to __________ and __________ and __________."
...The greatest investments ever made are investments in people, because people go to heaven. And our experience has been that we cannot begin to grasp the way our loving redemptive actions will affect people for eternity.
-- Dr. Norm Wakefield & Jody Brolsma in “Men Are from Israel, Women Are from Moab”
