Not Having to Worry About Time...

Have you ever noticed how driven we can because of time. It's so easy to get entangled in a "Go, Go, Go" mindset. We're constantly looking at our watches, clocks, Iphones, etc to see what time it is. We live with alarms, reminders, planners and other tools. We seem to be running here and there, with our lives frequently being dictated by time. Do you ever feel like time is a ball and chain to you? This past weekend I was reading in Colossians 3:1-2 which says, "Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth." One of the things I began thinking about from this verse was spending eternity with the Lord in heaven, and how time won't really matter. When we talk about eternity, time will no longer be of any significance. Webster's Dictionary defines eternity as, "Infinite time; an endless or immeasurable period of time." It's funny how we can live on earth for 70-100 or so years, with time being a major factor in our lives. Yet when it comes to eternity, time will really have no significance. What a complete difference it will be for us. What a nice change it will be, not having to live according to time's ball and chain.
