May My Life Reflect The Beauty Of My Lord

"If you could have heaven, with no sickness, and with all the friends you ever had on earth, and all the food you ever liked, and all the leisure activities you ever enjoyed, and all the natural beauties you ever saw, all the physical pleasures you ever tasted, and no human conflict or any natural disasters, could you be satisfied with heaven, if Christ was not there?"
— John Piper

Oh man, hearing this quote blew me away! I mean, whenever I imagine heaven, I just can't seem to fathom heaven without God, heaven without Jesus, heaven without worshiping God? That's just NOT heaven to me. It's not something I'd want for eternity. I could have all the things this world can offer me but to not have Jesus, everything is so meaningless and such vanity as it speaks of in Ecclesiastes.

I want my life to reflect an image of some one who is completely in Love with Jesus. Not in love with the things He gives, His blessings or the way He moves but to be completely and wholly in love with Jesus, God himself! I want to leave a legacy where when my spirit leaves my earthly tent, people can look back on the life that I lived here and say, "Esther really LOVED Jesus." Just as Jesus lived here on this earth for 33 years of His life, being IN the Father and the Father IN Him, a complete communion with God 24/7. In like, I want my life to reflect a love relationship with Jesus that no one can deny.

Turn up the heat, no more luke-warm Christians!

But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life,

and only a few find it.
