The Big Diehl

That question is probably one of the most asked questions to kids between the ages of 3 and 18. Many kids answer, “I want to be a doctor.”

Wow. That’s a huge aspiration. Just think of what it takes to be a doctor: Usually eight years of college — several years after that of interning before actually reaching their desired specialty of medicine. Their education is strenuous, sometimes living on next to nothing and ignoring social lives to study more. They rack up thousands of dollars in student loans. Why? So they can save and improve lives. They also are typically well financially compensated later on for their hard work.

Let me ask you a widely under asked question: Who will you be in eternity?

Eternity is such a long time, I think its reasonable to consider our lifetime to be a “zero” amount of time. Now get this - the way we live our lives in this “zero” amount of time will determine how we live for the rest of eternity. Why else would we be judged according to what we did?

Who will you be in eternity?

That cannot be answered with words. You will answer that question with your life.
