When my eyes were opened for the first time, I noticed how dull the sun seemed in comparison to God's glory. Everything seemed as if there was a thick layer of fog that was over everyone's perception of life. The fragility of it all didn't seem to be of importance to anyone on the streets. They were all on their phones and still laughing at jokes their friends were telling them, relaxing on a bench not considering how short their lives are, oh how immediately we can all be there at one moment and gone the next. It baffled me and it still continues to baffle me.
How we all tend to go towards the hovering fog of self-deception. The deception of the thought that everything we do in this world in running after our riches and our name to be known... Indeed is all for naught. We barely remember famous ones such as Albert Einstein or Susan B Anthony, so how much less would we consider to be remembered. And if indeed remembered what good would that do? Once dead then you are dead, your life has ceased and the meaning of your words and breath that you were given would be taken away at any given moment with a bomb or a dictator burning away any trace of your existence for future generations. You are no longer an outsider looking in, you are not even a part of the picture. And as meaningless as your life was it will end, your meaningful eternity will start then and there. The minute your heart ceases to pound away on life's faulty, fading riches is the moment you will be on the doorsteps of eternity.
How does this reality not frighten anyone? How does anyone get any sleep at night knowing that you may be lost for the rest of eternity? Eternally paying for the wretched decisions you have made for the sake of your own entertainment, lust and greed.
Are you saved oh reader? If you die tonight will you go to Heaven?
Jesus said to him,
"I am the way, the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father(God) except through me."
John 14:6
