Eternal moments

He took her by the hand and said to her, ‘Talitha cum,’ which means, ‘Little girl, get up!’ (Mark 5:41)

Eternal moments  

Moments bear eternity. A single second can contain the fullness of heaven’s glory. Look and see.

See Jesus’ eyes as he lifts a dying girl by her hand and gives back to her parents. The passion of Eternity, the fullness of the divine heart is compressed into a single moment, revealing everything you need to know about your life … and about who holds you and everything else, for that matter.

It’s all there as he speaks and lifts her. Eternity fills a single moment in which we see the full beauty of the divine heart and know: There is nothing but love in the heart of God for this world … and for each of us.

God does not love us in spite of who we are. There is nothing begrudging in the heart of God.

The Loving Mystery is overflowing generosity, a living fountain that never runs dry, ever flowing over, onto and into us, to make us whole, to make us truly human, filled with love and gratitude, joy and hope.

This is what it means to be truly alive and well, a wholeness that comes as a gift as we know the Love in Jesus’ eyes as our inner experience and deepest truth.

Warmth of healing flows through us as we watch Jesus’ eyes and listen to his voice as he lifts the girl and restores her to the arms of her grieving parents.

All of Eternity is there … in one brief moment. Look and see. It will heal you.
