how can we comprehend it
Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 4:01 PM

God says in the Bible that he has placed eternity inside of us

that means we have each the potential to connect to what's eternal outside our 3 dimensional world

but whether we tap on that potential is a different story all together

then there are some very funny creations like us who debate & try to comprehend eternity that is inside of us

since God said eternity is inside of us, then won't it also mean that we are bigger than eternity; that i can actually comprehend eternity? isn't eternity so small? isn't this Jesus thing that we've been talking about for centuries just a myth that is engineered by men?

good way to think (:

because doubts will only lead you to the truth.

i opened up my bible & if you have a bible like mine, the introduction gives you a historical recap about the entire account. it tells you what happened, who wrote, timeline, etc. the bible is a historical book too.

my bible says, "He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end." - Ecc 3:11

we were just given the potential to connect to the One who is Eternity Himself.

Eternity placed in our hearts = a sense of the existence of God placed inside our hearts.

that is why when you fail in your exams, you are stress, you put your hands together and pray. to what i don't know but you pray. you were given the capacity to connect to the One who is Eternity Himself (:

no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end because creation cannot know the mind of creator. even if we have a super powerful robot that is exactly like a human. it will not rule over us... in fact it exist only out of a percentage of humanity that the manufacturing or engineer gives to it.

so we always wonder whether God is real. i am enjoying all the fruits of it. that is one way to see whether He is real or not. Good tree bears good fruits. No tree no fruits. So existence of fruits means there is a tree.

now what about us trying to understand God.

i have tried too you know? the older i get the more i want to.

seem like it does something to us if we can comprehend God right??? but ah crap, we cannot.

i prayed and i asked God to show me what the Fear of God is in depth.

i mean i know it, there are few things you do that shows you Fear God, etc but i need a conviction about that.

Something which we all need too.

back, i prayed and i cannot really comprehend man.

See... fear of God can only be a revelation. revelation is a spiritual imprint. like i've mentioned we have the capacity for the spiritual.

i can have knowledge but without imprint i will not experience God.

to understand God is not something that will happen if we don't experience God.

my friends can talk about how fun this and that is but i will not IDENTIFY with it if i don't experience it myself.

i understand where they are coming from, i know facts about it, this and that happened, this was how it was like but only when i EXPERIENCE it that i truly IDENTIFY with it.

this experience will bring you a larger than fact identification just like ice-cream is genuinely good only if you have tasted it. No one else can then tell you ice-cream is not good. crap, you tasted it yourself!

so many of us, and i include myself. stand afar sometimes and observe and look to see how things work out.

we want value for money. it is innate in us! our $1 must return $1 if not $1.50 worth of entertain and value.

argh... that is really funny but it shows our nature.

it is like you will not have a lifetime experience if you don't give a once in a lifetime risk.

if we can get out of that $1 for $1's return mindset then we can truly experience the greater life that we can have with Jesus Christ.

what profit is there in our own doings? there is no profit you know?

success this and that. eh please have that, but then there is no real profit that can bring us.

look, there is no remembrance of former things, nor things that will happen in the future by those people who will come in the future - your future family.

no one really remembers 1990's richest man right? blah blah...

God has given us a burdensome task so that we all are occupied by it.

that task is LIFE.

LIFE is a task in God's term.

while to us LIFE is everything.

that's why you see, there is nothing out of our own hands that can profit this task that God has given us.

Nothing can be added to what God has done & nothing can be taken away from what God has done.

Whatever God does is eternal because that is His nature. He does it out of His own resources.

yeah that's right!

you know why people turn to religions & seek 4th dimensional help? pray, worship?

because what is crooked can make a crooked line straight.

if you struggle, you can't help me too because you don't understand what it is like not to struggle.

that is why it is quite funny especially for myself. i had all those things i did last time.

logically is will be what everyone of us will do to get some form of love and importance.

but now you understand, there is no point getting that love and importance too because i got the love and importance from people who need love and importance.

so the more love i got, the more hatred i got in the end.

more wisdom, the more grief.

the more knowledge the more worries and sorrows.

all because humans being humans cannot add a lasting effect to change the world.

so we must understand & give ourselves a chance.

that is all i know because i gave myself a chance & i am playing that chance out now. i can only tell you what happened before i gave myself my chance which is all that i've said.

lastly

"nothing is better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and that his soul should enjoy good in his labor. This also, I saw, was from the hand of God"

I hope you see the irony of life.

we get what we want for the satisfaction we get when we get what we want.

if life is supposed to me like that than this is a loser's game my friends.

we will surely lose.

everything came from the Hand of God.

Life is a task that He occupied us with.

We need to be grateful, we need to know how big He is.

There is a time under heaven for everything. Don't be engineers because He is. We should get our resources from Him and live His instructions out.

For those of us who doesn't know Jesus.

He has placed eternity in our hearts. We all have that lifeline to connect to Him.

well we cannot lose this game right?

and to win in a loser's game is pathetic.
