Sometimes, faith is necessary to embark on a small task. Sometimes faith is necessary to embark on a mammoth of a project or a dream.

Let me share what my case is in this regard:

I have a sense of a dream, a big dream of making a great impact in the world, it reads lofty, but I can really perceive how real this is. The paradox comes when I start trying to think of the details. I don´t have a clear vision of how this can come up. I don´t see in me a skillset conclusive enough neither strong enough. For my bare mind, this sense of purpose can be rather torturous.

Today thou, I received new wisdom that I hope my God will unravel continuously in my life, because today, while listening to my pastor, I saw some light in this matter that occupies so much real state at times in my conscious and unconscious mind. I really hope and need for the seed of truth to be planted and tended to take deep roots in my soul.

Before today, my dream was doomed to be unclear, just a frustrating and hopeless collection of desires and feelings with no structure, with many many possibilities, so many that could be overwhelming. No clear place to start, no ultimate end. Just my burning desire of having my life fulfilling a greater purpose than myself, the understanding that everything is possible through Christ who strengthens me, and the frustration of my immature soul.

My immature soul, one that grew up in a material world. One that needs desperately to grasp the greatest world that is to come, where the small seeds and works that I´m able to put on in this life, are blossoming into an eternal reality that will be forever.

Things can feel very pressing and urgent here as a consequence of being so unaware about the temporal nature of this life, and the eternal nature of the life to come.

But how to grasp what immortality is when all I know has a beginning and an end? It´s not the case with eternity. It doesn´t have a begining and an end.

I´m coming to realize that in fact, I was very tempted to think that my eternal life began at the time I received salvation by faith… and while it makes sense at certain levels, it´s not quite right because that was just the time when I became aware of my salvation.

The reality of my salvation actually started much before I became could become aware. I was chosen from before the beginning of the foundation of the world.

Ephesians 1:4 says that ¨He chose us in Him before the creation of the world, to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love.

The implications of these are what I pray God unfolds and guides me to witness from now on.

In Jesus, Adriana.
