You know, it's funny how after really wanting something, and when you kinda get it, it seems so pointless? I think right now, what's describing my feelings can be summarised under this verse by King Solomon, Ecclesiastes 1:1, "Meaningless meaningless, everything is meaningless!"
It's not like i can suddenly forsake the world or anything of that sort. Far be it from me to do such a thing since we were called to be in the world (and not of it). But it's the kind of feeling, where everything that i value, kinda seemed really small in the light of eternity. Ever wondered how it's like in heaven? Where you'd replay your life history, and see what you've done? Imagine the number of hours i spent on World of Warcraft, that's quite disgusting actually, now that i look back and see how drawn i was to some moving pixels in the world of virtual reality.
It really struck me, during cell group, we were talking about some stuff, but benel (if that's how i spell his name, apologies if i'm wrong!), was talking about stuff, but he said this one thing, even though it wasn't his point, or sub point, it was just how he kinda phrased his sentence O_O, which was " In the light of eternity ".
Before it sounds all yoda-ish or something, i thought that made a lot of sense. In the light of eternity, how is what you're doing of value? Or is it just another meaningless chase after the things of the world?
Well, let me clarify first, i don't think enjoying yourself, being interested in who your life partner is, and the list goes on, these things are bad or anything along that line. But how much time are you spending on such thoughts, or actions? Well, now that i'm reaching 21, all the "relationship" talk is like getting more rampant than i thought it would. Well it's actually quite interesting to talk about it. Haha. But at the end of the day, i wonder, how much of these times where i'm talking about stuff or maybe just doing things, are pointing to Him. I actually cover myself in shame when i think about what i do in the light of eternity, has been so fruitless and insignificant.
Just an encouragement to those seeking bf/gfs, don't worry alright? God has everything under control. He really does. If you go through the rat race of just looking for a life partner, you've missed the point. Least that's what i went through. Keep your eyes focused on Jesus. Instead of worrying, use that time to start praying.
And to those who spend millions of hours online/watching tv. K that's a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the drift. Nothing wrong with being online and watching tv, i myself am one that's online pretty often. But i urge everyone, this being a reminder to myself too, to see this in the light of eternity. Is it worth it to spend so much time on it?
Matthew 6:33 " Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. " So what's the value of (insert activity), in the light of eternity..?
