More to Life

I believe there is more to life than money, career, family, hobbies and interests. I don't discount any of these things - they are all very important. However, they will all pass within a lifetime. Many life events, such as a dream vacation, an important business meeting, or your wedding, are just fleeting specks of time. So, what more is there to life? God calls us to seek things that are eternal. It's so easy to get caught up in temporal things. What makes life meaningful and purposeful? Why are we here?

During my college days, I, Gail helped my friend with a mural. We both saw the same Christ figure before the painting began through dreams and visions.

One morning, I awoke to the flat sunlight streaming through my bedroom windows giving the room a subtle glow. "It's too cold to get out of bed," I thought. I laid facing down on my pillow when suddenly I had a vision of a man with his eyes shut through the floral print of my pillowcase. A bright light shone next to Him. How extraordinary! Then it dawned on me. This man looks like Jesus. A peace I had never known before filled my heart.

While painting the Mount of Olives, a narrow and straight road appeared that led to its summit where Jesus stood. On the left side, a wide road appeared that led to a dead end. I was reminded of a verse about the narrow and wide roads in Matthew 7:13,14 NIV.

"This painting represents the afterlife," I thought. I discovered that God made each of us with an eternal soul that needs salvation. He wants to spend eternity with us in heaven, but He gives us a choice. It's very important to understand that the afterlife is more real and permanent than our present life on earth. Jesus is waiting for each person with open arms.
