“It is because of faith that we exchange the present for the future. “St. Fidelis of Sigmaringen (1577-1622)

The present we see and experience. The future we do not see. Because of the promises of Jesus, we believe that we are not meant to live on earth forever, but to live with God eternally. This present life is one of sight. Life beyond the grave is a life of love and peace. As we live in the present moment, our faith is in the words of Jesus. “In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be.^”  (John 14:3) Believing in Jesus, I want to exchange the present away from the Lord for the future with the Lord.
