Eye on the Prize

Glory be to him who can keep you from falling and bring you safe to his glorious presence, innocent and happy.
Jd.17:24

Jude has just warned about people to whom we must be kind but with great caution, lest they contaminate us.  What are we at risk of losing? Being brought into God's glorious presence, innocent and happy.

That's the end goal, innocence and happiness before God. It pays to keep one eye firmly fixed on this while living out my day. This is called an eschatological worldview. Measure everything against what is to happen at the end of time, the prize of infinite value. Keep my eye on the prize.

Jesus help me be cautiously kind, lest I lose innocence and happiness before you.
Saint Jude, please pray for me.
