"I am just passing through"

ANOTHER day is about to end and here I am alone in my room. Reviewing previous text messages I received on my phone. One message that caught my attention was saying, "Pre, salamat. I am moving on now. Thanks for your advise." I suddenly thought of the past events that happened to me.

They say life is a series of unfortunate events. Either it is your destiny or it happened because of what you did. We all experience brokeness. We can listen to some advise and follow but in the end, the final decision is still ours. I realized that these are all just passing through. Events in our life will not stay. [Well, at least for me. :)]

It expressed my understanding that I wouldn't find myself in a challenging circumstance for long. I know that I would eventually get through it and go on to whatever God had in store for me next.

As scripture said, "If you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things that are above, not on things that are on earth." - Colossians 3:1-2

I have come to know Christ more personally, those words have taken on a new and deeper meaning. I realize suddenly that I'm not going to live on earth forever. I am "just passing through" this life on my way to a greater glory in the next. I have work to do while I'm here, a purpose to pursue in passing; but my sights are set on a world beyond the one where I live now.

Life as we know it, move on! :)
