This forward rings true for me... altho often are the times that i get caught up chasing vanity!
The story is told of an American tourist who went to the city of Cairo, Egypt to visit a famous wise man.
The tourist was surprised when he saw the wise man living in a small, simple room full of books. The only pieces of furniture were a bed, a table, and a bench….
Where is your furniture?” asked the tourist.
The wise man suitably asked:” And where is yours?”
Mine?” Responded the tourist surprised.” I’m here only passing through”
“I also am just passing through.” Concluded the wise man.
“Life here on earth is only temporal…yet, some live it as if they were going to stay here forever, forgetting to be happy.”
“The value of something is not in how long it lasts, but in the intensity with which it is experienced.”
God has loaned us this life and He’s the one who will collect it, and so it is that; we are only passing through
Living the real thing, doesn’t consist of things at all, because things cannot truly satisfy.
Only through God can we find real joy, true happiness, and the eternal fulfillment that only He can give.
