Tweet I have to write (type) what is on my heart. About eternity, what is it? Well, the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it this way:

ETERNITY

1: the quality or state of being eternal

2: infinite time eternity>

3: plural : age 3b

4: the state after death : immortality

5: a seemingly endless or immeasurable time eternity of delays>

 

So, there is indeed a concept of eternity, even in our world. It is hard to wrap my mind around the concept of FOREVER. The Bible tells us in Ecclesiastes 3:11 that:

^"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."

 If eternity is indeed a true concept. Then how long is this life on the spectrum of eternity? It would be such a short time that its as dismissible as a piece of dust on eternity's timeline. 

 

This is a touchy subject, I know, but I write from the pains of a grieving heart. Seriously, when all around I see lightheartedness in response to our popular culture, our do what you feel, our "you do you and I'll do me" attitudes, our crediting ourselves as "the authority" on how we are to live our lives,... the idea of ETERNITY often pops into my head.

If eternity is real, after we die, what happens to the popular "I'll do me, and you do you?" SERIOUSLY,... who is really the boss when the final breath escapes our lungs? I know one thing, This makes me all the more serious about using this little speck of dust of time in eternity understanding and spreading the Truth of God. I mean, a fad, or what you say is cool, or wise, or right is not going to matter. If it does, than you are equating yourself with an ultimate authority, you are equating yourself with being a god.

 

There is a song by a talented Hip-Hop artist named Lacrae that I have been holding on to lately. in this song, he says (I believe speaking tomen who believe they are living "the good life." 

"If you keep the end in focus you can't keep it when it's over
And when it's over there's something else starts
Only thing that's really gon' matter is that hope inside your heart
What you trusting in what you lusting in
For that busty momma that's strutting in
And you popping bottles you throwing dollars
That's cool but partner this just in
That you gon' live forever whether you want to or not
Some of us gon' end up holy some of us gon' end up hot
Tell this life to keep my problems kiss my momma when I'm gone
Tell her I have no regrets and I'm home I'm home."

 

Much sincere love to all who may read this. Here is the video/song:
