It's such a "Christian cliché" topic. God's unending love. Unending means it never ends... duh. As in forever and ever and ever. Like, never ever ends. Ever. No joke, I went to grade school. We all know what unending means. Sermon over. Let's go home. But do we really? Unending? How can we even POSSIBLY understand what that word means. Absolutely EVERYTHING in this world comes to an end. Happiness, sadness, dates, Thanksgiving dinner, the joy on your kid's face when they open that present they'd so hoped for even when they don't realize that you didn't get it for them cause they wanted it, but because you wanted them to know that you loved them enough to pay the extra money. All those things eventually become memories. They're over. Gone. No more. Adios. Even life itself ends. Wrap your mind around that. In the scheme of possibly hundreds of thousands of years, we hold a grasp on 70-90 of them. That's like, nothing. Pathetic. Officially, loserville. Yeah, we're important. God made us for a reason. But our time on earth is so lamely short for us to be wasting it on pathetic things like worry, lust, self-worship, hate, bitterness, anger, 5-second experiences... the list goes on and on. I can tell you confidently that that was NOT the reason we were created. We officially have the lamest existence ever. Outside of his love, we are the most pathetic thing ever. We swarm around these shallow wells of temporary satisfaction like ants on crumbs of food.
Now. Look at His UNENDING love. We selfishly screwed up God's perfect plan for eternal communion with Him. So what did He do? I'll tell you what He didn't do. He didn't look at us saying, "Well that creation was a bust. Moving on. Maybe martians can see how rockin awesome I am and not trade me in for an apple." No. He fought for us! He fought death itself. The ONE THING that keeps us from his Unending love. Now, death isn't a one stop experience for all. Now when you face death, you face a choice. A choice between if our pathetic, selfish, short, lame little lives are "all there is" or if you want to enter into what His truly, overwhelming, unending love REALLY is. Death isn't something to fear, but something to be SO OUTRAGEOUSLY EXCITED FOR! It shouldn't be called "death". It should be called "Party Day". The day we get to meet our Savior face to face. When WE see death, we see an end. Instead, we should see a beginning. The beginning of the most real love you will ever experience in your entire existence throughout eternity. Because within God's love, we don't live a "life". We live an eternity. THE eternity. Because there's only one eternity. And you, and I, are going to live all of it. :)
Alright. That's all for now. Holla at ya.
