When time ceases, He still increases

Let this slip back into your mind, the thoughts of memories and the vapored times. Vapored times that are streams of smoke, dancing off of the pulses of light that shine through the different eye-glassed windows. If you reach out your fingers to catch one stream, it vanishes suddenly as when you awake from a dream. When something so fleeting is so constant, it is easily overlooked or feared. If the day is only lived for the events of that day, then the vanities in that day will be filled to the brim. Too often people tilt this glass of momentary vanity, drinking and eating for tomorrow they could die. There is an aspect of time that is often ignored. It is not the past or the present or the future. It is the aspect when the vapors that rise, symbolizing time, shall cease to rise at all and all the vapors that had risen before, all the streams from every era, culminate and gather in this moment. It had been a constant crescendo. All thought that the vapors were fleeting, but they were just seating themselves before the One. So each day must be lived, each to its fullest and the day that is fullest lived is the one that is lived with a eye on the eternal moment when time ceases completely and people stop trying and rest in the be-ing.

Faith is a good fight.

We are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.
Whatever is born of God overcomes the world, and this is the victory that has overcome the world-- our faith.

Let us walk and live in a manner worthy of the calling we have received. We are born of the Spirit. Born of God. Born from above. He has overcome the world. Greater is he who is in me than he who is in the world. We are born of God. Sons of God and He is our elder brother. Through faith in Him, we will overcome and receive what he has for us when he returns.
