Because heaven is real, we should live every moment for Christ. Life is short; none of us knows how long we have. Live each day as if it were your last—for some day it will be. Peter wrote, “Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming” (2 Peter 3:11-12). If you are ever going to live for Christ, it should be now.
For your last entry, write a description of the end of your journey—heaven. How do you think it will feel? What will you do there? Next, write a short pledge to live each day on this earth with the end of your journey in mind.
