Glory Unending - August 20, 2008

Good morning! The cooler (and darker) mornings should remind us that we are moving into the last third of summer for this year. Of course, school is a not-so-subtle reminder to all those who must endure the hours in a classroom. Last night I thought of endings. Have you ever felt sadness over the end of a book series, a favorite author retiring, the finale of a favorite television series, or some other ending? It happens so often on this earth that we have a saying about how all good things must end. When we endure a trial, we even remind ourselves that: "this too shall pass." All around us are endings. I thought that a big part of the greatness of God and Heaven is that...God and Heaven do not end! We face some sort of ending in so many things. Some endings make us sad and some make us glad, but the end does arrive sooner or later. Eternity does not compute in my limited, human mind, but not ending, that makes a splash somewhere in my psyche. Listening to one of my favorite songs last night, I checked the display on the CD player and realized that the song is a very short one by today's standards. Imagine a wonderful song that does not end; you will hear more than one in heaven! Imagine a book that just keeps getting better and better, with no ending in sight. That will be our story in Heaven with Christ Jesus. Praise God for His glory unending!

Enjoy a wonderful day in Christ!
