How we will spend our lives in heaven forever is highly effected by how we choose to spend our lives on Earth. We can do great things for God while we are still breathing or we can take the path of least resistance, pursue comfort and the praise of man. You see, the momentary pleasure of seeking to gratify our flesh is fleeting, selfish and insignificant. What shame if we get to the end and realize we have lived for ourselves? Can the Father say “Well done” to us then? Can He put a crown of honor on our heads? Can He seat us with Christ on a throne of royalty? No, those rewards are reserved for the overcomer: the one who continually humbles himself, takes up his cross and follows Jesus. There are levels in heaven and some will barely make it. Praise God, they will be there. But, what sadness to know, we had a great calling that we refused, so we could pursue the small fleeting comforts of Earth.
