I Want to Be a Celebrity--in Heaven!

The other day a person said to me, “Thank you so much for talking to me. I feel like I’m talking to a celebrity.” I said, “No, please don’t say that… I’m just ‘Marci’” Later that day I got to think more about that statement and wondered...

What does it mean to be a celebrity anyway?

According to the Dictionary.com, a celebrity is a “famous or well-known person.” Then, I decided I want to be a celebrity—but not on this earth. I want to be a celebrity in heaven! When my turn comes to go to heaven, I want to be welcomed by thousands of people who made it to heaven because I shared with them the ticket to heaven—Jesus!

When you look at things from the eternal perspective, your attitude changes completely. You reason, motive, and purpose for being exposed in social media and in the speaking world changes. It’s not about you anymore. It’s all about God. It’s about fulfilling his plan in your life which always includes helping others. In my life, it involves influencing others through my writings and speaking opportunities that God sends my way. To God only, be the glory!

So… do you want to be a celebrity in heaven?
