Have you ever thought that God's great gift to us is time--time forever? When we are forgiven of our sin and cleansed from our guilt on the basis of Christ's death for us--Christ's paying our penalty--we are given everlasting life--a gift of time--a fantastic gift of time together with Him, and with all those who have come into the family of the living God.

As we grow to feel more and more in life the limitations of 24 hours and the limitations of a seven-day week, and the limitations of a month and the fact that there are only 12 months in a year through which to distribute the demands being made upon our time, we should marvel at the gift God has promised us, and because of which we have an unshakable hope and a bubble within of delight--we are heading for forever!
