I HAVE AN ETERNITY AHEAD OF ME! Chapter 2 HERE I AM, READY TO RESIST AND PERSIST! For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord , thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11-13 KJV Here I am, born again--CHANGED, but the world hasn't changed. Now that I am no longer of the world, the world definitely won't understand me, accept me, or love me.

 EXPULSION FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN  1620,  Sir Peter Paul Rubens    I HAVE AN ETERNITY AHEAD OF ME   PREFACE Sometimes, I let my mind wander. I must confess, lately, it's more often, than sometimes. Nonetheless, in these wandering states of mind, I sometimes think about Eternity with God and Jesus. I'm sure our Father probably is amused at my wandering, uninhibited, large, and vivid imagination that puts me in a somewhat placid state of being. Oh, I know that our Eternity begins when we have been born again and come to know the Father and Son. Jesus told His Father that His Disciples were no longer of this world, but, had become part of God's Heavenly Kingdom. God's Kingdom is Eternal.   If you have been reborn, you are living in your eternal life!  Did you know that? Did you ever think about being Reborn in that sense? Do you believe that?
