Forever
This word is really hard to wrap my head around, because everything I can see, or touch comes to an end. I remember a friend telling me once that a light switch has a point in which it breaks, and it won’t function properly. I went to a funeral this week and the service memorialized a life lived, but it ended here on earth. The part that I can’t see is the life after this life. I don’t know anyone who has come back from there to tell me about it. I do know that the Lord is in charge of that. I’ve never sat down face to face with Him to have a conversation about eternal life. All throughout His Word, eternal life is an important subject matter. I think it will be so cool to see people who’ve gone before me in the life after this one. It takes faith to believe in God. It takes faith to believe in the life after this one. It takes faith to trust in His Promises.
1 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
24 This is the day the Lord has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
28 You are my God, and I will praise you!
You are my God, and I will exalt you!
29 Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.(Psalm 118:1,24,28-29 NLT)
I have been following the Lord for a long time. There are times when I don’t understand something He does or doesn’t do. I can’t explain in rational terms what I believe to be true about the Lord. I have experienced His Presence and His Power in my life too many times to count. I’ve had my prayers answered many times and not always in the manner in which I prayed. I won’t stop believing in Him even when I don’t always understand everything about Him. I know for sure that He loves me. He loves His Creation – people. He wants to have a relationship with each one of us. I believe deep in my soul that God is good all the time. I believe that He is for me. I’ve seen His faithfulness first hand. If He promises eternal life to those who trust in Him, then I believe it will happen. He is faithful and full of love – forever!
Pressing On!
