The Tide-Turning Power of HopePavyzdys

Hold up your hand and measure the width—that’s your life.

Breathe one breath and see how long it lasts—that’s your timeline.

Hope must be connected to more than circumstances and troubles that resolve themselves here and now. If we measure life based on the time on our wristwatch, we will often struggle to live with hope.

There is another clock we can look to that gives us a better measure of our lives: the clock of eternity.

The time zone of hope is eternity; if we adjust our personal clocks to synchronize with heaven’s clock, we will see things on earth very differently. Eternity should be the scope we measure things by. It gives new context to pain, loss, and ultimately even death.

An eternal mindset is not just about life at the end of our days on earth, but rather it’s about giving us a new context for how to live our lives now.
