Eternity in Our Hearts
posted by Jeffrey on Tuesday, May 24, 2005 at 11:53 AM
What a struggle we live in on this planet. God's infinite qualities are too lofty for us to comprehend, yet the pleasures of this world, satistying as they may be, do not permanantly satisfy (no, I'm not talking about "the bad things", but about earthly pleasures--period...). Ecclesiastes 3:9-14, but specifically verse 11, says that we were made for eternity...so how does that affect this earthly life? Thoughts?

Once upon a time there was a boy who loved his teddy bear. He took it with him everywhere, it never left his sight and he slept with it on his pillow. He loved & enjoyed his teddy bear and it gave him great pleasure.
Then one day he received a puppy as a gift. The puppy licked his face, played with him, barked, ran and became for him what the teddy bear could never be.
Soon, what was once his most valuable possession & pleasure found its way under the bed, then into the closet and finally up to the attic where it awaits the next garage sale.

In the Bible the word Heart is interchangeable with what we today think of as Mind. The experience of eternity (the Kingdom of Heaven) is as close as getting to know our minds in which God has placed [it]. Quite meditation for just 10 minutes a day, in a comfortable position, usually sitting cross legged is a guaranteed way to know the mind. Peace bro :)
