What's in my future? You think about that a lot. It's all good in the big picture.

As believers, our eternity is secure in the Lord.

Pastor Greg Lawry says, let your eternity influence how you think in the here and now.

I didn't say there won't be some bad moments.

I just said it's all good because ultimately God is going to make you more like Jesus.

It's an old worry about it. Just keep walking forward.

It's our experiencing this joy and happiness that God offers.
