Bethel Live-For the Sake of the World

Ecclesiastes

Reading t h r o u g h Ecclesiastes.
Good reminder to seek the eternal instead of the ephemeral.

For.. theres no point in slaving away, working, trying to succeed.
For in the end we all have the same fate.
No one will remember you or what you did. No one will care.

So...

Love the Lord with all your heart and soul.
Share the good news, see Him change lives.
For the Holy Spirit is alive and living.
He is the same today, yesterday, and a bajillion years ago.

We live not by sight, but by faith. 
He gives us hope even when all else seems to be failing.
The more you seek, the more you will find, and the more you will love.

Christianity affirms that Jesus severed the link between suffering and deserving once for all on Calvary. God put the ledgers away and settled the accounts. The good news of the gospel is NOT that good people get good stuff. It's not that life is cyclical and that "what comes around goes around." Rather, it's that the bad get the best, the worst inherit the wealth, and the slave becomes a son (Rom.5:8).

The more I seek you,
The more I find you
The more I find you, the more I love you

I wanna sit at your feet
Drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath, feel your heart beat
This love is so deep, it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming

if you know me. you know that i walk around a bit carelessly.
maybe a little too careless. 
today as i was walking to the subway to go home from work,
i almost got hit by a car,
my co-worker gave a shout and pulled me towards the sidewalk.
she was pretty frightened but i was pretty nonchalant
and she was surprised and remarked at my calmness.
truthfully, i didn't think much of it.
i think that's when i realized i need to be more careful.
there are countless moments when im with friends, people, even visitors
and almost get ourselves run over.
i'm not afraid at moments like that.
thinking im superman or something.
that cars will stop and avoid me.
that God wont let a car hit me. 
but must be alert.now.
