Seeing with Eyes of Eternity

Seeing with Eyes of Eternity

                    

  The late Welsh revivalist Leonard Ravenhill was my dear friend and

  neighbor in Texas.  He told me he often asked God to let him look at life

  through “the eyes of eternity”. At our weekly prayer meetings Leonard

  often cried out:

  “Lord!  Stamp eternity on my eyeballs! Let me see everything through the

  eyes of eternity!”

  Len’s powerful prayers shook the room with his passion for God.  I was

  deeply and indelibly stamped for life.  Little did I know how much I would

  need it.

  It is a true and amazing way to view life.  Still, it’s no simple matter

  to see the world through the eyes of eternity when our little world, as

  we’ve known it, has ended.

  I can get just as stressed out, heart-broken, angry, and confused as the

  next person.  But the constant truth that we’re all just passing through

  this Earthly Life, on our way to Eternal Life has helped me tremendously.

  This life is temporary. That truth puts things in better perspective.
