The saying is simple but hard to live out. A saying that establishes an eternal perspective that this life is truly temporary, and our permanent home is in Heaven.
Living a life that brings constant glory and praise to the name of Jesus is what every Christ follower sets out to do. Growing deeper in understanding and knowledge of the true character of our Creator and serving Him by being an empty vessel for the Kingdom.
We are not meant to grow complacent and stagnant in our faith but rather live on mission, developing deeper levels of trust and love for who He is and who He made us to be. Although He will never ‘need’ us, our Heavenly Father has placed a dire responsibility to make His love known by sharing the free gift of salvation to those around us. A love that was only made possible through the sacrifice of His son Jesus.
If there is breath in your lungs, God has placed purpose in your life. We fulfil this through our daily submission and surrender to His will. As we commit to do this, the life we live becomes more and more aligned with His desires. This life is not about us.
So, if you identify with the meaning behind this shirt, you strive to live as a courageous warrior and faithful soldier until He returns or calls you home.
