       This all comes down to the fact that “All that matter is God.” That is because when we transcend this life, we will be immediately in his presence, and we will be in his presence forevermore. Bringing this back around, does this mean, again, that this life doesn’t matter? Well, considering what I have said, I think your focus is on the wrong area. This is not a zero-sum game. Just because “All that matters is God” doesn’t mean that this life cannot enjoyed while it lasts. Even if we are to say, “This life doesn’t matter in comparison to God,” that doesn’t then mean that this life then is to be immediately given up, or that it is to become monkish and dreadful. So, we are to be “a doer who acts” and we “will be blessed in [our] doing.” We have the best of both worlds, then. We have God, or rather, God has us. So, upon exiting this life, we are immediately with him. While in this life, however, Jesus said he would be with us always—that he would never leave us.
