Good Words for Today: May 23

Years ago I heard Vernon Grounds say that when we face a major decision, we ought to ask ourselves, “What difference will this make in 10,000 years?” Most of our decisions—the ones we agonize over—won’t matter at all in 10,000 years. What a liberating way to look at life. Ninety-nine percent of what you worried about this week won’t matter three weeks from now, much less 10,000 years from now. But 10,000 times 10,000 years from now, you’ll still be glad you decided to follow Jesus.
