"He has made everything beautiful in its time.
Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart,
yet so that he cannot find out what God has
done from the beginning to the end."
God has put eternity in our hearts, knowing that nothing but eternity can fill it. As human beings, we long for eternity: we keep time, we worry about time passing, we grieve at aging and death, we strive to live forever, to look young forever, to defeat time, we are enamored with immortality in vampires, in afterlife, in love that lasts forever, we are obsessed with making a lasting impression in the world, changing the world, being remembered by people, doing something that will make us famous forever: ETERNITY
Of course, no fancy cream or fountain of youth or machine will ever actually give us eternity. No magical change or innovative science or number of people who remember us will ever make us truly immortal. So, we fill up this hole with chasing money, relationships, love, lust, sports, music, jobs, school... things that we believe will give our life meaning. But they won't. Everything in our life, everything in this world will end. We are temporal. We are temporary. Our lives, our cars, our money, our houses, our jobs--and the work we do there, our ideas, our monuments, our relationships, our country... everything will end. The world will never stay as it is in this moment and there is nothing we can do to change that.
And that is why it is important. That is why we MUST know and understand that there is a being, a king, a GOD who is perfect. Who created everything perfect. Who can never disappoint us. Who loves us and wants us to know Him. He is eternal, has been and always will be, and we can be eternal with Him. In all actuality, He has put that hole in us, the hole that seeks eternity, the hole that longs for forever and for His perfect presence throughout forever. But we are imperfect. And imperfect cannot be with Perfection. We took his once perfect creation and brought disobedience and imperfection and lies and deciet into it, and ruined everything. But He loved us enough that He would rather die than destroy us or His creation. So he sent Jesus. Jesus, who is God in flesh, who was perfect--though tempted-- and who was a sacrifice for us... and Jesus defeated death so that we can also defeat death!
And so, we have this Hole the Size of Eternity that can only be filled with what it was made to be filled with: Jesus, our God, the Holy Spirit--the creator who loves us and wants us and is jealous for us. A creator who values us and knows us so well he can tell us the number of hairs on our head or the number of heartbeats we have had in our life. He cares for us.
And that is what my life revolves around. So that is probably most of what I'll be talking about. :]
Welcome to my blog.
I hope you enjoy it.
