In heaven there is no time, bills or old age so what’s the point. You might as well wonder why we have to do things like cut our nails or shave when none of that happens in heaven

Why do we persist in this futile struggle of 9-5 every single day for decades, and what does it have to do with what happens to us after we die

And why is it that pretty much everyone is content to keep going instead of saying they’re fed up with it and asking God to take us off this planet

I read of the allies liberating concentration camps during WW2. There was a lady thought as dead in the midst of the filth in the camps. Some nurse put a tube of lipstick in her hands... And she grasped a hold of it and smiled a little as she did it.

The tube of lipstick is my hope, which in my case are the promises of God. When going through trouble I tend to grasp a hold of that lipstick a little bit tighter. Call me a knave, a fool, a rascal, or a scoundrel, no matter, I am holding on tightly and putting a high degree of hope into those promises! I also tend to read into the many YouTube videos of Smith Wigglesworth while going through those troubles.

Solomon, the wisest and richest man who ever lived, wrote : Ecclesiastes, after watching how the world system works on people.
And its harder on them now.

(paraphrase.)

= """Life is vanity.
all is useless.
it all leads to nothing but pain, loss, and regret."""

So.....What is that?
That is the exact situation that exists as Normal LIFE....for everyone who is not born again., regarding everyone who is not a Christian.
Why?
Because this devil designed world system, destroys 2 things.

1.) Innocence
2.) Hope

So, when those are gone, and the first goes by about age 16 ....., , and the 2nd, by 40 yrs old.
Then....All that is eventually left as " life" for the unbeliever, is to try to find something to dull their ache inside, on their way to the grave.
And that dulling down the ache,, is always a temporary relief, and eventually nothing dulls it, and you just ache and feel like dying,.. and one day you do.

See that?
That is Life without any Hope.
That is Life without Christ in it.

Here is the Good news.
There is a SOLUTION !.

"Jesus came to heal the Broken Hearted."
""Jesus came to give you Life and that more abundant""
How?
By LITERALLY restoring your HOPE for Tomorrow, while blessing you with peace for Today.
