everlasting

"Everlasting, your light will shine when all else fades."
-Hillsong United, From the Inside Out

I heard that today and just began pondering the word "everlasting" and how it related to me. I realized that today, not "someday" like we often hear, but starting today, starting when we accepted Christ, we began living our everlasting lives with Jesus. As i thought about that, i wondered at how amazing "everlasting" is. how long, how big, the magnitude of the meaning behind it and i just sat in awe. i wondered what would motivate God to want to spend eternity with me? i wondered if i was in Gods place, why would i want to spend eternity with someone? and the only reason i could think of, was out of pure love. there is no other reason to willingly want to spend eternity with someone, other than because you love them. when you love someone, you dont want your time with them to end, you wont ever get tired of them or grow weary. you truly want to spend eternity with them. and i just couldnt get over how amazing God's love is, and how amazing eternity really will be.
