"I spent my life on things that won't matter in eternity."
How it sounds in your head: You focused on home, kids, hobbies—not eternal things. Everyone else has souls saved, ministries built. You wasted time on temporal stuff.
"And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."
-- Colossians 3:23-24Religion's lie - creates false hierarchy of 'sacred vs secular' instead of seeing ALL done in Christ as eternal fruit.
She didn't pastor, evangelize, or do 'full-time ministry.' Her life was ordinary domesticity that feels small next to 'real' ministry.
Poured expensive perfume on Jesus—disciples called it WASTE. Jesus said, 'She has done a BEAUTIFUL thing... wherever gospel is preached, what she did will be told in MEMORY of her.' Her 'waste' became eternal legacy.
I REFUSE the lie that my life was spent on things that don't matter. IT IS WRITTEN that WHATEVER I do, done heartily as to the Lord, receives eternal reward. My dishes, my diapers, my daily faithfulness—ALL counted as eternal work because I did it IN CHRIST. IT IS WRITTEN that whether I eat or drink or whatever I do, it's ALL to God's glory. There is no secular vs sacred—only connected to the Vine or not. I WAS connected. I declare: My ordinary life bore ETERNAL fruit.
Father is weeping with joy saying, 'Every time you served in secret, I recorded it in heaven—and I'm about to show you the MOUNTAIN of eternal fruit from your faithful mundane.' Your reward will shock you.
