Meant for eternity

"A man feels wet when he falls into water, because man is not a water animal: a fish would not feel wet." --C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

"We feel uncomfortable with the passage of time ('Look how you've grown!') because we are eternal beings experiencing a temporal life." --Charmaine Yoest

Remember that you are meant for eternity. Things of this world cannot satisfy you or fulfill you because you are meant for something infinitely greater and richer. In those moments where the passage of time takes you by surprise, or the tin qualities of life tarnish your hope, remember that every breath, every action, affects the cosmos in some way that we can never understand. You are uncomfortable because you were not made for the finite, but for the infinite! Give over your breaths and actions, your very life, to the One who does understand, who orchestrates all of creation and her salvation. Take refuge in Him, eternity, Who you were created for.
