What if there was no time? If there is an eternity, how can we be headed for it,
as though it started at some point? If we are immortal, then considering time
within this finite body is inconsequential and irrelevant. Every moment is in equal
relationship with eternity as being infinitely valuable. Thus, if eternity awaits, it matters not when we reach it, but how (that is, in what condition) we reach it. As it now is when we consider time and our lives, we are
measuring the wrong way. If we wanted to measure things in this world
more accurately in relation to eternity, we would measure our souls to
see their corruption or redemption. When we think of the end of our lives, we usually think the simple thought that we will one day die, rather that we will in some way die. What will our hearts have become? So far, we have been using time to
measure the length of a river that runs forever, when we really need to be measuring its depth.

Eternity for some is difficult to comprehend…. until one loses a loved one…. then it is just one last breath and one last heart beat til we are reunited for all eternity…timeless…. And that is my hope….in Christ.
