Invest in Eternal Things

Because what lasts forever should shape what we do today.

Most of what we chase in life fades—money, possessions, titles, popularity.
We spend decades stacking bricks for a building that won’t survive the weather.

But some things last.
They outlive our bodies, our names, even the world as we know it.
Those are eternal things.

What Are Eternal Things?

They’re the investments that carry beyond the grave—love, faith, kindness, truth.
Things that never lose value because they’re rooted in God’s design, not human markets.

Eternal things are the only currency that matters when everything else is gone.

Why We Forget to Invest

We get distracted.
Bills pile up, opportunities knock, the world screams “more.”
But the loudest things are rarely the most important.

When we ignore eternal investments, we risk building a life that looks full but feels empty.

5 Ways to Invest in Eternal Things

1. Deepen Relationships That Matter
   Spend real time with people who lift your faith, challenge your character, and love you unconditionally.

2. Serve Without a Spotlight
   Acts of kindness with no audience echo louder in eternity than anything done for applause.

3. Feed Your Faith Daily
   Read, pray, worship—habits that anchor you in truth and give you strength for every season.

4. Share What You Know of God
   Teach, encourage, and point people toward hope. What you plant in someone’s heart can grow for generations.

5. Live With Integrity
   Every honest choice, every moment of self-control, every kept promise adds weight to your eternal account.

“What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.” — Pericles

When you invest in eternal things, you start living with the end in mind—knowing your work will still matter long after you’re gone.
