Eternity - Past, Future, Present Jr John Patrick Herbert

Our life's stories never seem to turn out as we planned. They seem to be interrupted by unseen and unwanted events, which in many cases are cause for fear, dismay or disappointment. We really do not know how we will react until we are faced with these life changing events. I am no different. One turning point event in our family's history forever affected my life and world view. Seventeen years ago my wife's and my sixteen year old daughter, the youngest of four children, lost her life in a car accident along with three other young adults. The questions were overwhelming and were compounded by the temptation of anger. Today I am sure that the longing in my heart for a good ending to my story has been secured by an eternal plan set in place by God Himself. This began in the very beginning with a "Very Good" creation story in Genesis. The Future is the continuation of this story with cosmic and individual impact. The Present gives us an opportunity for "New Birth" and eternal benefits for our story and our world today. Travel to the Past and participate in God's goodness in creation. Visit the Future and view a creation restored to original design. Live in the Present with the victory of being a new creation of God's today. The Future is the Past, the Present is tied to the Future . All are a door to the ETERNITY set in our hearts.
