This is all temporary… This world I know will shortly be gone.

It mirrors sectors of my life; minutes turned to hours. When I die it will all be but a distant memory. Simply one more wisp of smoke lost in time. Perhaps this will lend to the generation of my priorities…

I focus on the details, the science, things I can feel and touch and when I do this I forget my priorities-those handed to me by my God-and I lose myself in this little torrent of time we live in.

It is simply a matter of perspective. I can look from where I stand and I remember the past, I see the present and I anticipate the future. Where I am bound contains none of these things; time is encompassed by what waits, simply another dimension in which to move…

If I attempt to rationalize where I conjecture God to stand (a foolish pursuit, but one with a few fruits) I see how He might see. He stands outside time, seeing this thread of existence we live in; knowing all, seeing all. And for some reason He subjected Himself to this limited existence we inhabit.

For the love of man, Christ died. For me and every other person on this planet. But because of His infinite nature it is not some impersonal love, but an individual love.

And I suffer most from this: I do not perceive that love because it is not in the things I immerse myself in, not in the things I see, or feel, or touch. I have been granted these things: a life to live, and a free will to affect that life. And for one purpose I have those two gifts-to seek God and His love, His promise.

I pray to God that I do not become lost once again in the things of this world, its science and things that can be touched and heard. I pray, oh God of Heaven, that you grant me this incite; that You alone are God and that You are outside this limited existence. That You love me and let me know that you love me, not with knowledge of this limited existence I have been granted to inhabit, but with the knowledge of Your love instilled by the Spirit.

I pray these words are your Will, Lord. I pray that they touch someone for Your greater glory.

In Your holy name, the great ‘I AM,’ I pray these things.

Keep me mindful of these things, Lord, God Almighty.

Amen.
