Some of us, no matter how long we live, seem unable to grasp this concept. That God makes everything beautiful in it's time, but that beauty cannot all be embraced during this lifetime. It is only in eternity, only when we cross the vast chasm that separates us from our creator, that we will see the true reality...that we will truly live. As the Apostle Paul said, we only see in part; even our prophecy is in part. There is no way we can see or describe what lies ahead. Occasionally, our spirits may get a taste, a breeze blowing in our direction for a whisper of time, but for the most part, we wander around in this time thinking that this is all there is, and if this is all there is then we must get more of it.
And so we miss the one thing that would make this time on earth more palatable: being happy and doing good while we're here. Simple, yet we all have such a difficult time doing just that. Being happy, doing good. Perhaps if we could be content with that for just one day, we might glimpse the eternity that God has set in the hearts of men.
