Eternity

 

Can we even comprehend what it means?

For time to be stretched to never end

Or to not exist at all

For life to not be defined by clocks, watches 

Or watchers on the wall

 

This life is short

And yet we plan it meticulously

A job, a partner, a life that could be 

At any moment

Dissolved into empty space 

Ending up in spiritual court

Have you prepared your case?

 

Every mistake we made

Has already been paid

We have free will to reject or accept His gift

So simplified 

That the only thing standing in our way 

Could be our pride

 

Have you seen the proof surrounding Jesus’ life, death and resurrection?

The Case for Christ so undeniable

That not believing is a greater leap of faith

For everything is ultimately a belief, even atheism 

 

Does the thought of eternal damnation paralyze you 

To the point that you don’t dare to even pay the slightest attention?

But what a risk to take

When His perfect love casts out all fear

And your name written in the palm of His hand

The promise of eternal Heaven is yours

When you draw near

 

But the age of Grace is almost up

It is time for a great shaking

For there are many who need fear 

To see the truth of Him

To surrender and awaken

 

Ask Jesus earnestly

“Reveal yourself if you are real, to me” 

And He will

Have you asked wholeheartedly? 

It’s easy to do

If you don’t believe He exists

Then what is keeping you?

 

If I’m wrong

I would have “wasted” my life surrendering to a force

That exposes every thought, word and action

Coming from a negative source

Growing continuously

Into a better version of me

 

Committing myself to the One

Who even in my greatest error judged me worthy

To go through intense agony

 

His presence brings me tears of joy

When the Holy Spirit touches me

For in His presence sin can not be

Pain, regret, shame, 

Guilt, fear and all that holds us down

Flees instantly

 

And what if I’m right?

Are you willing to take that chance?

To gamble with Eternity?

To spend a time far greater than what we have here 

In suffering and fear?

 

For rejecting Him means choosing to be separate

From all that is love, joy and peace

For He IS Love, the Maker of Joy, the Prince of Peace

The reason we experience it today

Is because He’s sending His blessings our way

 

God is Love

The only thing required is humility

To know there is something 

Someone 

Greater than me

 

Every drop of blood He shed

He died for you alone

And eagerly awaits the moment

He can welcome you home

 

Jesus is standing right outside the door of your heart

Right here

Right now

Although He is worthy

He will never use even the appearance of force or manipulation 

Like the true gentleman He is 

Waiting patiently
