Eternity
Have
you ever wondered how you would get through a difficult time, or where life
is leading you? Have you ever asked, why Lord, why me? Often, I like to go
to the water’s edge to get the answers. The sound of the waves rippling
along the shore, and the beauty of a peaceful sunset help to bring a calming
mood.
As I began to paint “Eternity”, I focused on the sunset’s
power over the early evening sky. The fiery sunset revealed two paths. One
went straight
to the sun. The other crossed the horizon and faded away. Life is a journey of
daily steps and decisions that take us to our eternity.
Our chosen path leads us to or away from God’s revealing light. So often,
we wonder which way to go. We search for answers, direction and purpose. When
faced with life’s overwhelming situations, we may not understand why things
have happened or what we are to do. We must remember that we are never alone.
God is all around us. He will be there every step of the way. Proverbs 3:5,6
says, “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine
own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.” His
path will sustain us through this life and lead to a wonderful Eternity!
