This World Is Not Your Home: Embracing Our Brief Assignment on Earth

What if the reason life feels so fragile sometimes is because it really is, brief, fleeting, and not our final home? In this reflection on Chapter Six of The Purpose Driven Life, I’m sitting with the truth that “life on earth is a temporary assignment.” Through Scripture’s reminder, mist, breath, shadow, I’m learning how to hold earthly things a little more loosely, love people more deeply, and live with eternity in view. This post is an invitation to shift from settling into this world to living as an ambassador of heaven, faithfully present here while keeping your heart anchored in what lasts.
