Today I saw something I had never seen before. Today I walked closer to eternity than any time I my life. Every one of us everyday approaches that time when we will step into the eternity, all things on this earth passing from our grasp. Some would have us believe that our lives are like chalk drawings, temporary, short and pointless. But everyone who thinks this way, still walks closer to the edge, every day just like the rest of us. Those of us who have no faith of things unseen are really destitute and without hope. Maybe that is why they strive for power so fervently, they must feel that somehow all that adulation and money will stop death in his tracks. If they have enough bodyguards and a big enough empire, power over others then the reaper will pass by their door. My Lord stepped up on the cross and opened the door for me, so should I fear the end like some we have seen, or should I try to ignore the reality. Every day we walk closer to the edge of our life, every day we get a new chance to try again living as Jesus pointed us to. But every day we walk closer to the end. We as humans are one heartbeat away from eternity, one breath from the end of our time on earth, though we prefer to look forward to a long life, the reality is death follows us one step behind. Seeing this fact in a clear fashion really hit home. I don’t want to step into eternity with regrets. Are there things you haven’t done? Things that you need to put right? Remember each day you wake up is one day given to you to live it to the fullest. It is also one day closer to the edge of eternity. This is not a sad or mournful note it is for me a check on reality, it is my celebration of mortality and moving from temporary pain and tears to eternal glory. Some of us have long journeys to get to the edge. Some us have a short journey. How will you live knowing this?
