Divine Love will
take you there!
Galatians 6:8-9
8. For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
9. Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don't give up.

Comment
Those who lives their lives in corruption [self-serving] will reap destruction, while those who live their lives engaged in righteousness [divine selfless Love] will reap Life everlasting.
The point to note here is 'if we don't give up.' Our spirit is willing but our flesh is weak. In fact, better words for 'weak' would be 'crave' or 'lust' for. As Christians hunger and thirst for His righteousness, the flesh hunger and thirst in selfishness, power and wealth. Temptation is all around us. How many times have we observed our neighbour's success and long to be just as prosperous?
Remember Adam and Eve? They concluded that the tree was pleasant to the eyes and bore fruits that were good to eat [metaphorical for traits to consume or possess].
We need to persevere and to leave those deadly fruits behind and opt for Heavenly food.
Don't be distracted for great are the Reward that awaits you. Let God and His righteousness be first in your lives and everything else will be added by our Lord. His manner of Love is the key to Heaven.
2 Timothy 4:7
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
- New International Version.
Keep your eyes on the Heavenly prize. Persevere in His Love!
Divine Love will
take you there!
