I often think about how sad it will be for the people who live life by reason rather than by faith. I'll be watching a show and some scientist will be claiming that they need proof in order to believe in something. They exist in such a small realm, only in the framed knowledge that they have chosen to dwell in. What a tiny and insignificant world they choose to study and be confined by. They see only the surface of life...only the topical magic that exists to the human eye.
God's majesty and wonder goes far into the infinite. It has no beginning and no end. As a Christian I have a hope forefront in my mind and heart that after this physical life I will have an eternity with the Creator of all things. He will reveal to me the secrets of all life as we travel through the heavens and He introduces me to each star. He will expose the atom and how it works, we will defy gravity, understand the power of the sun and travel through the intricacies of a rain forest! I'm not a scientist and the thought of this makes me ecstatic! So I can't even imagine how a student or professor of science could resist this offer!
I recently went to Best Buy and the Geek Squad technician removed the hard drive from my antiquated laptop. He asked me if I wanted him to recycle my old piece of technology and I said, "Yes." It made me think of our human bodies and how God designed us with a removable hard drive. Our bodies are just the monitors and keyboards but our souls are our hard drives. All that we are...our personalities, temperaments, talents, emotions...are hard drives that will move on into the next realm. God will take our cases which are our bodies and recycle them into new ones that will meet us in heaven to again house our souls one day. Yet, in the next world we will not be limited by earthly flesh but we will be in heavenly bodies that will not know gravity or limits!
What scientist wouldn't love this thought! People of reason...I plead with you to stop limiting yourself! This is not all there is and you will never discover the limitless wonders of creation if you continue to confine yourself in the prison of reason! You have an opportunity to be able to soar through galaxies and see into and beyond anything your mind could imagine! God loves your inquisitiveness and explorer spirit! He designed it and gave it to you! He wants to spend eternity with you and blow your mind with wonder! The reason you were created was to have a relationship with Him! You think so big yet so small at the same time! Do you really think that the purpose of your life is solely for you to dwell in your world of limits?
There are so many reasons why people choose to reject God but I'm asking you to open your heart and mind and consider some reasons to accept Him! Give Him a chance...He died for the opportunity you know. He suffered a torturous death and took upon Himself all the sins of all mankind so that we would not have to suffer the consequences of our own sin. He did that for you! He died in your place so that you could live in the light for eternity rather than in darkness! Think about that...think about what light reveals! The fascinations of life are a gift from Him and He wants to show you all of them!
Put aside all your fears and doubts, all your anger and hurt, and face the Lover of your Soul. Stop trying to contain Him in your reason and quit trying to bury Him in your unbelief! He is real, He is historic, He is the Creator of all things you study, and He loves you. Ask Him into your heart, tell Him you're sorry for rejecting Him for so long, surrender yourself into the safety of His love for you. Start living with the excitement of eternity! This world is wracked with sin, decay and rejection. This life we live now is not all there is! We are here for a very specific reason and that is to tell as many people that will listen about the love of Christ and the hope that is set before us! Step out of your small world and open your eyes to the bigger picture! Stop using your small excuses to keep from knowing your bigger God!
Romans 1:20, "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities...His eternal power and divine nature...have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse."
Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you not to harm you, to give you a hope and a future."
John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life."
Sunday at church our Pastor told us about an article he read that said when one small butterfly flaps their wing in South America, it effects the weather across the planet! Wouldn't you like to know if that's true and how it works? Well, there's only one way to find out :) That's what awaits us in Heaven!

How sad it would be...to miss out on eternity simply because you chose the false safety of the confinements of this world.
