That's why, if we put all our time, effort, and love into things that fade away, we're only going to be disappointed in the end. We'll be left with nothing. The good news is that, as believers, we know that there is one thing that does not fade away. One thing that is real and true. One thing that will really last forever. That's our relationship with God! As Christians, we're called to live real lives based on the stuff that really lasts.
