This Side of Eternity

 

Five years later on this side of eternity here’s what I continue to learn…

There are burdens in this life. Losses we don’t see coming, tears, sorrows, and griefs to bear, but take heart, for they are temporary and held within the hands of an awesome loving God. While that reality doesn’t diminish our pains felt presently, it does frame and places their ending point into the eternal context we often ignore but are actually living within.  

We are eternal creatures made for God who came to save and redeem, giving life and hope through His Son. While we are in this season of trekking through our earthly life, Jesus is the only One, perfect in wisdom, perfect in strength and truth, filled with unending hope, and comforting peace. 

He lifts all burdens and empowers the soul with His eternal Spirit enabling His children to link arms together and continue the trek home in his love, strength, and wisdom guiding us all the way onto our eternally destined home, his home, his family, his kingdom. 

Life… it is all about Jesus, regardless of the side of eternity in which we are standing.  He is Savior, Lord, and King of kings!
