Eternity in the heart
"The deepest need each of us has, even if we are not conscious of it, is that of eternal life."
-- Christoph Blumhardt
Whether we are aware of it or not, eternity is our only joy. It strengthens us in our earthly life, which is ephemeral without eternity. Anything we might hope for in life, everything we have that brings us joy, is connected with the name of Jesus, the heavenly jewel sent us by the Father. And so, in the measure that we share in his name, the years of our life will be enfolded in heavenly things.
Selah.
