see yourself as you are destined to be

The majority of people fight to live.  Everything they do is focused on maintaining peace, stability, health, and creating a good life.  There is nothing inherently wrong with this approach.  But I find very few people who live from the grave backward.  What I mean is doing everything you do as though you were already dead.  Not caring what others think of you or do to you, but considering the judgment to come as more pressing than all the demands of this world.  Not that I have attained to this perspective.  But I keep it in front of my face everyday.  Consider what I’ve said here and weigh it with all truth of God’s sovereignty.
