Eternity in Our Hearts

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:11

As human beings, we are fleshly. Just as we are fleshly, however, we are spiritual beings. We were created to be so. We are constantly in want in the carnal state, but even as a follower of Jesus Christ, my hunger for Him grows as He fills me more and more. Always wanting, always yearning.

This past weekend, my middle school girls and I talked about how we as humans can't even begin to grasp eternity and how we as Christians always have a goal to meet, and yet the goal is already met because Christ has promised us to be the victor. The Word says that He has set eternity in our hearts. Is our constant yearning for Him as we grow to know Him a picture of the how He has set eternity in our hearts? I believe so. We are truly spiritual beings.

What a beautiful thing, Lord. You're incredible.
