Eternity

You, O LORD created me

so I'm alive.

I'm alive!!

And I have been redeemed!

This means, I'll live for eternity!

What is eternity?

I thought about it for many days

some days, the thought hurt my head,

and some days, the thought caused tears.

FOREVER.

That is eternity.

However, we do not know or understand that.

It is outside of time.

I'll never die, technically speaking. 

I will live forever. 

Think about it. 

I used to only think about my time on earth.

Heaven was just a place for me

that I was going to after I died. 

But a week ago,

my mind was opened to reality.

No one that I've talked to

understood my train of thought. 

My thoughts about eternity

caused me to marvel at my existence.

That once I'm created, 

I'm never going to disappear.

Whether I go to Hell

or Heaven,

I will always exist.

We don't just live and then disappear.

Like I can't believe I'm alive!

That God created me

so that I can live for an eternity!

Once you can grasp that idea,

your eyes open up to your real destination.

People tell you to live for the eternity that's coming.

You believe it because it makes sense spiritually,

and it sounds spiritual. 

However, do you understand what that means??

Look at the timeline of your life,

of the time that your soul will be existing.

Life on earth can be wiped off by a single pass of a nail file

across the tip of your longest nail. 

Eternity is the universe compared to those molecules

that got filed off.

Do you kind of see the significance of your eternal life/existence?

Your life now, DOESN'T MATTER.

Your life in Eternity, DOES MATTER.

And that's why we should be filled with love and compassion

for those on the road to eternal death. 

We should put ourselves out there

to let God use us as His vessels

so that many more can escape the unbearable

eternal death. 

And we will be with God for Eternity,

we do not want to be regretting our decisions
when we go before the LORD,
before His judgement seat.


I have started being more aware of what is going on
relating to my actions to the thoughts that go on
inside my head.
I have taken captive the thoughts
that do not bring glory to Christ,
the thoughts that are sinful and selfish.
Knowing my destination and my goal
has given me confidence to live my
life for the LORD.
To dedicate every decision that I make to Him.


I encourage you to ask the LORD
for wisdom when trying to understand your
destination.
So that you too, can change how you live,
how you think,
and how you relate with others.
So that you can make sure that you are
prepared for that coming eternity.
