“Things tend to snap into perspective when weighed against eternity.” –Jesus (Speaking in prophecy on “Keeping the Heavenly Vision”)
Living for the “now” is always so much easier than living for the eternal. You are earthbound, in weak and frail human bodies, and it’s hard to see past your present circumstances. You want to have fun, you want immediate recognition, and you want to enjoy the “now.” But blessed are those who live and work and invest in the eternal world of tomorrow through serving Me‚ loving Me‚ and living for Me. It’s a work that doesn’t always reap immediate or noticeable results‚ but it’s a work you’re building that will last forever, that you will be proud of for eternity, an endless legacy of love and giving that you will never regret.

My Family, you are working for that which does not fade away, that which is eternally worthwhile. You should feel happy about this! You should let this fact encourage your hearts that you’re using your time in the best way possible, and that—with the limited information I’ve revealed to you about your purpose on Earth—you’re making the best of your time and you’re making Me very happy. You can be certain that when this life is over you have a happy Heaven full of rewards and blessings awaiting you for your faithfulness. You can know that I love you, and that as you’re working for Me, and pleasing Me‚ and giving Me one of the biggest gifts of all—your faith that isn’t dependent upon sight or understanding—you’re learning some of the most important lessons in the whole universe, and that it’s going to pay off in the life hereafter.
You can also know that so many of the tough and rough and sad things that trouble you here are going to be over very soon. You can know that in My Kingdom there is no sorrow or loneliness or hardship or sickness or worry or death or lack of love or any of the things that can be so hard on you now. With that in mind, you can more happily brave your current sorrows or troubles, knowing that soon they’ll be gone. And in the meantime, I have promised that My grace is sufficient for you, and you can determine not to let the things of Earth hold you back from gaining and gleaning from your time there the things that will really last. That’s the heavenly vision, My children—knowing that there is a much bigger world full of love, rewards, meaning and happiness just beyond this one you’re currently living, fighting, and working in. You must live for the second life, the world beyond, rather than living for this current life, this short time‚ this vapor. When you look at the heavenly vision you’re reminded and motivated by what’s really important and what’s actually worth living for and caring about, and you can set aside what is too petty and meaningless to let into your life or hold you back.
Things tend to snap into perspective when weighed against eternity. Whatever was tough on Earth is not going to be tough in Heaven, and you’re going to be so happy that you held on and fought bravely.
Keeping the heavenly vision is easy—it just takes faith! Feed your faith with the Word, and then take what the Word says at face value. Believe each of My promises to you, and know in your heart that everything I’ve said is the truth and is really going to happen.
