"How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone." James 4:14
Today is a sad day. But a day like today always reminds me that life truly is like a vapor. Here one minute and gone the next.
A very good friend of mine said to me today, What's it all worth Hannah? We work and work, but we can't take it with us...what good is it?
What good is life, if we don't point everyone we know in the direction of the One who Gives Life? Honestly, it's worth nothing. A few years ago, I'm not sure I would have had an answer to that question. All I wanted in life was success and money. But over the last year, I've learned that the ultimate calling and responsibility is for us to be so immersed in Jesus that He is what we work towards. He is the ultimate success. Being able to tell my friend, that we have to choose where we spend eternity, was one of the best minutes of this sad day. He knows it, but sometimes we run from it.

Life isn't about money.fame. fortune. Because in the end, you can't take it with you. Life is about showing a lost world, just who Jesus is. It's about being so in love with Him that He is all you desire. In the end, it'll all work out.
