greater than whatever you fill in the blank
you are made to be eternal, to surpass the stars in longevity, you were made to be happier than you are now.
somewhere in your life you short changed yourself by holding on to what you see, by believing this world is all there is and that all that is in it is truth and your purpose.
when you were young, you saw your enviroment and imagined beyond it, you went beyond the place of your dwelling, to the lands beyond it. you looked up into a sky with stars and tried to imagine beyond the pinpoints of light, beyond the moon and the sun. when you learned of space, you wondered beyond it, galaxies, universe, etc. and then you stopped dreaming, you stopped wondering, it mattered less and less because food kept you alive, and stars did nothing but shine. you stopped imaging beyond your life to the lives of others, because you must survive.
is it so hard to imagine life beyond? you arent all knowing, science and astronomers cant find the end of the universe, why do you believe the physical, the visable is worth dying for?
aim beyond this world, aim beyond the stars, beyond yourself. Hope will never make you ashamed, all that seek, find.
whatever you think is best in this life, imagine it better beyond this life. if you love pleasure, is it impossible to know greater and everlasting pleasure?
God is the forger of dreams, he gave you a desire and expectation, but it cant be fulfilled by life on earth, but by being with him.
where you place your treasures; your time, your money, your energy. that is where your heart stays, where your affections are, where you will automatically point yourself toward when things become chaotic.
point them toward eternity, and this world will never crush you. by your right hand you will overcome the world, because your hope and dreams are beyond it.
hope is more real than the world.
