Hey yall,
Dale is really forgetful if you haven't noticed already. You remember how he wrote about 3 weeks ago about having an eternal perspective. Yeah, for about 2 and half of the last 3 weeks he hasn't had that perspective. He's such a hypocrite, right? So, in an attempt to help him remember and to write down what he's learned, we are going to review the idea. With some repairs to the phrasing and mentality.
So, having an eternal perspective is not just having the view that we have all kinds of time in the world because we're going to have forever to perfect ourselves like our Heavenly Father. Looking on the past couple of weeks, there has not been much progression. Why? Because we were thinking like that. However, it really should be more like this: this of what you've done in the past, fix it. When you mess up, think of how much time you took to fix it and try to improve on the time it took or the quality of job you did in fixing it.
For example, going on a mission and giving your all for that short time period means nothing if you just stop. Having an eternal perspective means taking your achievements during that time and improve on how fast you did them or how well you did them. Thinking about the what you did(The past), what you're doing(The present) and what you will do(The future); that's having an eternal perspective.
What does that mean for Dale and his life? It means that he is going to amaze himself in what he is capable of doing with the wonderful gifts that God has given him and with God's direction to shape and develop those gifts. :)
So have an eternal perspective on things.
