Time and Eternity

"He has made everything beautiful in its time.  He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end." (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

Everything is made beautiful in God's love.  In Him and through Him everything comes to the fullness of beauty.

God has truly set eternity in every human heart.  It is up to each heart and soul to choose by the way it lives where it will spend eternity.  The invitation to complete unison with God for all eternity is issued to every heart, but not every heart chooses to embrace the invitation.  Many choose the ways of the world over the Way of Love and so they choose to turn away from God and His love.  Many choose the Way of Love and are empowered by God's Spirit to go forth and bear much fruit.  These souls are storing up graces in heaven that will benefit them when they enter into eternal life.

I do not believe that God judges or condemns a soul when it enters into eternity.  He is a God of love and mercy.  I believe He will ask a couple of very direct questions like, "How have you loved Me?  How have you allowed Me to love through you?" How these questions are answered will determine where the soul shall spend eternity.

Let's embrace the Way of Love, God's way, God's love and the fullness of the beauty of His love and allow God to make our hearts and souls beautiful in time and in eternity.

Prayer:

Lord, I wish to be made beautiful in Your love.  Bless me with the gifts of Your Spirit and with the desire to do Your holy will at all times.  May I always allow You to love me and love others through me.  I simply want to honor and glorify You in time and in eternity.
