NOTHING LAST FOREVER!

Once upon a time, a certain king has an adviser. The King called his adviser one day and said. " I want to know if you are truly a good adviser or not. You shall carry out an assignment for me. If you fail this assignment, I shall expunge you from this kingdom."
In a frenzied state, the adviser asked. "What is the assignment?"
Then the king said. "I want you to get me a ring. Inscribe some words into the ring. Those words must be capable of consoling me whenever I am in distress and also restrain me from being overjoyed or unreasonable whenever I am happy. You have the grace of one week to complete this assignment."

The King's adviser went home and thought about it for a very long time. After the fifth day, he made the ring and inscribed this words into it, "NOTHING LAST FOREVER". Then he presented the ring to the king.

Truly, those words were able to guide the conducts of the king. When the king was sad, he looked at the ring and remember that sadness does not endureth forever. The king remembered that joy must surely come after sorrow.
Also, when they had a bumper harvest in the village, the king was extremely excited up to a degree where he could not control himself again. Then he looked at the ring and suddenly remembered that it will not last forever.

No condition is permanent. In fact, life itself is an ephemeral abode. Therefore, do not be swayed by the events of time. Remember God in the time of ease and difficulty. Only God has the absolute control over the future.

What can really last forever are the promises God make in the scriptures. Paradise and hell-fire are everlasting. Almighty God will reward everybody accordingly.

Pay less attention to life which is transient.
Pay more attention to the afterlife which is everlasting.>quote
