Evil intentions don\u2019t win. Following in Christ gives us the hope of eternal life to come. Worldly wealth doesn\u2019t stop death from coming. And U-Hauls don\u2019t follow anyone into eternity. We leave the earth with what we had at its entrance: nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christ in us gives us peace on earth. Our treasure waits for us in heaven, not here. No mind can genuinely imagine the afterlife; we all have our interpretations of heaven. Our best day on earth can\u2019t compare to our first day in heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without Jesus, people don\u2019t have the same hope. One decision turns life around. Trusting and following Christ changes lives, one decision at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/shop.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.honestreflections.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Beach-Wear-Etsy-Banner-1-300x39.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Lord, forgive us for missed opportunities to share Christ\u2019s love.
