Endless

I do understand beginnings and endings. Someone once said, “All good things must come to an end”. I’m not sure if the person who coined that idiom really knew the Lord. I’ve witnessed life being born and I’ve witnessed death. I do have a hard time wrapping my head around eternity. Everything I know and everything my life touches is temporary except for God.  He is eternal. He doesn’t have an ending. He also doesn’t have a beginning either. That is hard for my human brain to process. Check this out….

I’ve known the Lord for a long time now. I’ve heard about eternal life for years. When I actually take a moment to process this idea, it blows my mind. The Word teaches and speaks of eternal life with God. It also teaches and speaks of eternal punishment for those who don’t know Him.

There’s a lot of things in life that I don’t understand, but I believe in them. It blows my mind how these airplanes carrying 750,000 pounds or more can take off and get into the air on less than two miles runway.  Atlanta’s airport can have as many as more than 90 landings and over 100 takeoffs in an hour. I don’t understand how all of this works, but I’m not afraid to fly. I’ve learned to trust in things I can’t explain. I’ve also grown in my trust of the Lord even when I can’t totally explain endless or eternal life.

I’m grateful for His Word that keeps building and teaching truth into my heart. While I can’t explain all that I believe, I know what I believe.
