What really lasts forever?

2 Corinthians 4:18 - So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

We can't see God or Heaven, but that doesn't mean he doesn't exist. Everyday something new comes out on the market and it catches our eye. Whether it be that new iPod or the new Call of Duty video game, our eyes become diverted to that new shiny object that everyone wants. But how long will that new iPod or video game last before a new version comes out? A week, a month, maybe even a year. None of the materialistic items that come into this world last forever. I know at times it seems like we cannot live without a certain item, for example I sometimes feel like I cannot live without my iPod or cellphone. But we were brought into this world with nothing and we will leave this world the same way. The amount of materialistic items we can actually live without would shock us. But what would happen if God was taken away from us? How empty or lost would we feel then? We feel lost and empty when we don't have our cellphones on us for a day. But how lost and alone would we feel if we didn't have God for a day, or a month, or a lifetime? Answer this question honestly. Do you really think you can live without God?
Material items make us feel whole and happy in the moment we have them, but deep down we are still empty. Nothing and no one can give us the happiness and filled feeling like God can. Only God can truly fill our lives. Only God can give us true happiness. Only God.
As I finish writing ask yourself this question. What really lasts forever?
