Is There Anything That Lasts Forever?

1 Corinthians chapter 13:13

 

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

A woman and her family decided to adopt a young child from Africa. The little girl had serious medical problems, but she was a happy and sweet little child, and the woman loved her. The Lord led her and her husband to adopt the girl, and she became apart of their family. It was hard work to take care of this child, but they were filled with joy watching her grow up, learn English, and go to school. She was treated just like all the other children in this family. She was home.

Then one night, the little girl died in her sleep. There was no warning. She had had a slight fever a few days before, but it had gone away. No one was more surprised by her death than her adopted parents. They were sure that the Lord had wanted them to adopt this child and to accept her into their family.

They had dreams of raising her and they believed she would live a long and productive life, but sadly these dreams would never become a reality. At first, the mother who adopted the girl could not understand why the Lord had taken her from her adoptive family. It was hard in the beginning for the mother to trust the Lord. But in time, with prayer and meditation on the word of God, she was able to heal from her heartache.

She knew that the Lord had told her to adopt the little girl, and He had asked that family to love that little angel. Sometimes the Lord gives us an assignment, and we have our own interpretation of what the Lord wants us to do, but He has a greater plan. We cannot see what the future holds, but we must always trust in His providence for our lives. That family adopted a little girl from Uganda. They loved her and cherished her. But they could not keep her for long. She left this world knowing that she was loved and valued, and then she met the one who had created her, and she went on to a greater existence and a greater love.

With that story in mind, can anyone living in this world right now say that anything that we have, anything that we achieve, or anything that we desire lasts forever? We are mortals, and it is our lot to be born, to live a certain amount of time, and then to die. Any illusions that we might have about our existence and our achievements ends the moment that we take our last breath.

So, is there anything about this life that lasts forever? I would like to make the case for faith, hope, and love. These things can last as long as you have them in your heart and beyond.

FAITH

Once you believe in something or someone, you can believe in them forever. No one can take that away from you. It is your choice if you stop believing. The fault does not lie in anyone else if you stop believing, it is yours!

HOPE

Once you start hoping for something or hoping on behalf of someone, you can hold onto that hope until that hope has been fulfilled. It is up to you to keep that hope alive, so don't ever give up your hopes. Hopes inspire us to do the impossible!

LOVE

Once you decide to Love, Love will keep you from straying from the truth, and it will keep you from ignoring the focus of your Love. You have the capacity to Love, and it is your desire to Love that fuels passionate Love. Love is stronger than any force in the universe. It was Love that put our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross to deliver us from our sins.

Greater Love cannot be found except from a God who would allow His Son to die for us so that He could save His little ones, His children. We must accept His gift of Love; there is no better or greater solution to cover our sins than the Blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ, who was slain for our redemption before the foundation of this world.

Jesus Loves you; He is calling for you. You are very valuable and precious to Him. He has shown the depth and breadth of His Love for you. No one will ever Love you more than He does. Please accept this precious gift of Love, Hope, and everlasting Life:

 

Prayer of Salvation

Jesus, I receive You as my personal Lord, King and Commander. I invite You into my life as the Lord and Ruler of my life. I no longer choose to be in charge of my life. I give it to You. I invite You, Jesus, to have first place in my heart and my life. I ask for Your cleansing blood that was shed on the cross to come now and wash down over all my sins. Come make me clean. Restore me to a right relationship as a child of my heavenly Father.Thank You, Lord, for Your cleansing blood! I stand clean and white in Your presence. I put on Your robe of righteousness which You are handing to me. Thank You, Lord.
