"While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."
I absolutely love this scripture! Our love and faith are the most powerful, eternal things in this life and in all eternity; they will last forever. Those temporal things such as cars, toys, clothes, money, they will be left behind when we leave this world, yet the love of family, the sealing of a marriage, our faith and testimony of the Lord and His way will stay in our hearts throughout all time. What a marvelous comfort and reminder of what is most important.
Our priority in this life is to strengthen and flourish in those areas that will last through forever. In a world so consumed with worldly accessories and attitudes, it is so vitally important that we stay strong in the gospel and in morals that are so incredible to us. Our Lord wants us to grow into the eternal Kings and Queens that He knows we can become. If we put our love and trust in Him, He will show us how to be exalted in His eyes.
