Forever

It's so hard to believe that something... anything can be forever in this world where so much is not only temporary but also soooo unreliable. Many things about today, let alone tomorrow are so unsure so how about forever?

In our world of disposable cups, plates and forks, more job insecurity than security, divorce. Its so hard to believe that something, anything can be forever. It makes it so hard to put all your eggs in one basket because who knows whether the basket will hold, not have holes or whatever! What if the basket leaves you and you are left with no eggs? (like literally!)

So much uncertainty! We make friends for years then everyone starts moving away.. for work, school, marriage, life. Mannn... starting the work of making new friends again is hard only for them to move as well or maybe it's you that does the move this time. Then there's also climate change! (Now let me just leave that one alone!)

With everything so up and about... what can we count on? Like for real. Where can we put our eggs?

The Bible talks about how God's love endures forever. That there is nothing that can separate us from His love- He who loved us before we cared a sniff about Him. He who has been from the very beginning. He who will be here till the end. His love is forever. I don't always understand what He does or why He rolls the way He does. But His love is sure. It is on Him that I place all my eggs. Even if they break, I know that He'll be in charge of whatever is going on with that. (And maybe sometimes eggs have to break to hatch ;-) )
