Everlasting. That's a great word. Everlasting. Everlasting. Everlasting.
It means ~ lasting forever, lasting or enduring through all time, eternal, continuing for a long time or indefinitely, tediously persistent, wearing indefinitely, ceaseless, dateless, deathless, endless, eternal, immortal, permanent, perpetual, undying, unending, and infinity.
In my life I know of only one thing I want to remain everlasting. That's my relationship with Jesus. Things happen, relationships fail, memories become clouded but He alone is everlasting. Everlasting, his Love is everlasting. His peace is everlasting.
The older I get it seems the more I reflect on my life. I am reminded of all my failures. I look back and pray the mistakes I've made will be steps to remind others of the Hope I have in Christ. The Everlasting, Hope in a real God. The ladder of my life has many rungs, but the one that means the most to me is dated in 1976.
It was in 1976 at a church revival that I heard a voice prompting me to accept and let Christ in. Oh man have I blown it. So many times. But Christ has Never Blown It. He is the one constant in my life. Though my mother and father forsake me, Christ did not.
He helped when I fell with skinned knees, and tears that didn't stop. Through a rough childhood, and a hard life. He alone continued to show me his everlasting Love. A Love that I have never felt anywhere else. One that is not based on feelings but also facts.
Tonight I'm blessed from everlasting to everlasting. Tonight I see the the life I've lived and I sense the deep, compelling Love of my Father, God. I sense the fulfillment of his peace. Does this mean there will be no problems in my life? No it just means I'm in a place of total surrender. I've raised my arms and I allow Christ to wash me white as snow. I say Dear Jesus, I'm here, I'm yours, use me, mold me, from here to there, from now to eternity.
Thank you Lord for the blessed life.
Love this song;
"From The Inside Out"
A thousand times I've failed
Still your mercy remains
Should I stumble again
Still I'm caught in your grace
Everlasting, your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, your glory goes beyond all fame
Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing you praise
Everlasting, your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart, in my soul
I give you control
Consume me from the inside out
Let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love you from the inside out
Everlasting, your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring you praise
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out
Isaiah 40:28-31
28 Have you not known?
Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. 29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, 31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
