Timeless seems to be elusive. We yearn for taking back time, knowing what we know now, but back then. We spit out angry venom words, released from a lashing tongue. And at the speed of sound, they land on other’s ears, piercing the heart, causing tears and tares in the fabric of their and our souls.
Yet, in timeless habit, we again continue in the same predictable behavior, time, and time again. The human frailty that we tend to have is an Achilles heel of our behavior. Then we regret our actions, our words, the negative sequestered thoughts that we harbor.
We seem to try to reach the often-lofty goals of self-improvement, wanting to be better, cleaner, pure in thought and action, only to trip and stumble once again. Crying out and promising to do better, be better.
However, by our nature, we can not achieve any change ourselves, and that is where the prayerful cry of human need comes into play. If we are going to self-improve, that – dear reader – is impossible, we need the divine help of our Lord Jesus. Through His perfect love, immense grace, and bottomless depth of His loving mercy, we have hope in the tick-tock world to improve. To be closer, to be more like Him and to, with practice, study, devotion to His word be the example, even perhaps the Bible others read. Through Jesus, all things are possible, because He offers us the opportunity of timeless, He calls it eternity when we accept Him as our savior.
