***Taking The Long View (pg. 25)***
Galvin Reid, a British church leader, tells about a young man who had fallen down some stairs when he was a year old and shattered his back. The boy had been in and out of hospitals his whole life-and yet he made the astounding comment that he thought that God was fair. Reid asked him,"how old are you?" "Seventeen,"the boy answered. "how many years have you been in hospitals?"Reid pursued. The boy answered,"Thirteen years." Reid said,"And you think that's fair?"
"Well," the boy replied. "God has all eternity to make it up to me."
Peace fills my heart at the mention of Eternity, We may struggle now but we have been promised Eternity in Heaven as our reward. Like a quote I read somewhere, "We have about 100 years on earth, and every day is a day closer to Heaven and compare that to eternity which is forever."
