No End in Sight

Im pretty sure that their isn’t one thing in the world that won't eventually kill you. Either you eat a ‘love it’ sized ice cream at cold stone creamery every night and become obese and slowly kill yourself through diabetes or you add a few too many sprinkles of salt to your entrée and end up with heart disease. Maybe you choose a more obvious route like weed, everyone’s heard from health class that smoking pot has unfortunate health related consequences. You could eat perfectly healthy and run outside everyday… too bad you forgot sunscreen and eventually die of skin cancer. Or maybe you remembered it and just get hit by a bus… and even if you do always look both ways and never run on the wrong side of the road you will eventually become and old person and you will eventually die. Everyone dies. So in order to seek fulfillment you should probably not look to the world for the answer to life. Because in the world there are so many things that seem to be the root of evil and the root of death. The world is essentially sin. We must look out of this world to find something more to cling too, something pure and wonderful. If you have never felt God you probably have never looked deep enough into a sunset, or walked slowly enough through a large field, you’ve probably thought too long or not enough about how you got here. Because the answer is simple and reassuring. Let yourself be fulfilled by it. God gave us the earth and we ruined it (read Genesis). He didn’t turn away though, he forgives us still and has a home prepared for everyone in heaven. Im already trying to imagine mine. Look into the world for clues as to know that God is out there. Look at the sun that rises and sets. Look at the way water reflects images, shapes and colors, but adds sparkle and light of its own to everything. Breath many different kinds of air. Never overuse anything. Don’t underuse yourself. Accept genuine smiles. Experience silence and appritiate it. Don’t be afraid of the dark and unexpected and be confidant that you have a guide. Feel life, and don’t speak too much because words quickly kill the beauty. We all die, but we have life left now to live, and a home prepared for us in the future. So live, and love God, and wait patiently as we have been told to do. Its not all for nothing… and we have everything to live for.
