When we have an eternal perspective (an eternal view of things), it changes the way we look at life. It changes the way we look at:
-Battles
-Relationships
-Time
-Finances
-Pain
-Promises

When a believer holds on to God, holds onto the Bible, is filled with God's power, God's priorities and God's perspective, there is nothing the world can throw at the believer, that he and God cannot handle.

An encouraging word, at the right time, can help us achieve our destiny. A discouraging word, at the wrong time, can crush us and keep us from our destiny.

There are always blessings in obedience, and there are always curses and pain, in disobedience.

Stop going over the problems,
Start going over the promises.
Stop talking about the problems,
Start talking about the promises.
Stop talking to others about the problems,
Start talking to others about the promises.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

'Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.' 

By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. 4 And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.
