Romans 6:23
Eternity was within our grasp, but we passed it.
We allowed it to slip through our fingers while we still had a chance. We followed after our own passions and greed. We served ourselves but could not save ourselves. We were led to deeper and deeper depravity, til our eyes were completely blinded from the truth, til our hearts would not soften at the still and constant calling to change.
Eternity was within our grasp, but we chose death.We thirsted after wine and parties. We indulged in every earthly delight. We starved ourselves from food in order to gain a better image, to gain more status here on earth,to be fuller. Our emptiness grew stronger. We heard softly a voice saying, turn to me, I will heal, deliver, I will give you the fullness you long after.
We ignored it.
We turned our eyes to another man. After we had seduced him and he finally proposed. We thought children would ease our pain. To have a child would surely fill us. He left us embittered, realizing that we were selfish and only wanted to fulfill our own lusts through him.
We hunger and thirst after God, but its too late.
The dry heat and thirst aches. We cannot swallow. We do not see each other, we long for companionship. We are itchy, we are burning. We cannot feel anything. We long to just feel, warmth, air, coolness, joy or even sorrow. Our bones gnaw against one another, the worms cannot die within us. It is too late. Despair is the only definable emotion for our miserable state.

Eternity is within your grasp.
A loving Father paved the way for a relationship with all humankind. Adopting us into His family and rescuing from the grasp of an abusive and delirious parent, who would only pull us into a pit of suffering, enslaving us in our sins. Yahshua ha Mashiah willingly laid down his life, becoming a sinless sacrifice, he through his guiltless death, defied death forevermore. He brought back to life many from their captivity to death. He brought victory forevermore, but we must believe.
We must choose to be in relationship with him.
He will come back for His Bride, those who have clothed themselves with garments of righteousness, with the clothing of the bridegroom, who have traded chains for truth. We are freed. We worship Yahwah. Adonai has redeemed us. It is a narrow road, our praises bring the victory.
Eternity with our without Adonai. This is your choice.
The only true light and joy comes in faith. We must believe on the saving and redeeming work of Jesus Christ... that we may live forever with him. Without him...eternity will be hell itself. literally.
You choose.
