To live a Christian life is not about receiving a reward or escaping a condemnation, but about choosing to live now in communion with God, in communion with all that brings light, lightness, and harmony, and to turn away from that which causes darkness, confusion, and terror. The reward is not in the future, but in the now; communion with God in the present is already the gift. Perfect happiness does not exist so long as we have not become perfect.
Life is in the now. What matters is not yesterday, nor tomorrow, but what you choose today: to be with the light, love, and harmony, or to be anywhere else. To live is always a decision, a continual decision. There will not be a day when everything changes completely in the blink of an eye, except by means of continual change, until it reaches the critical point of transforming reality. The choice happens in the now, and we live the result of our accumulated history.
