I heard a song the other day an old boyfriend used to sing to me. Part of the lyrics went like this:
“Need you by my side, girl you’ll be my bride.
You’ll never be denied everlasting love.
From the very start, open up your heart,
Be a lasting part of everlasting love.
Real love will last forever.”
The song, “Everlasting Love,” by Carl Carlton would make me giddy when he sang them. The other day they just made me laugh remembering how much I believed those words at the time. Turns out our everlasting love lasted about a year.
Too often we throw words like everlasting, forever, and eternity around in everyday situations. The pick-up line at school is taking forever. We have to wait an eternity to get back to the doctor in the emergency room. We’ve placed negative connotations on these words as if forever is somehow a bad thing.
Everlasting, Eternal God- El Olam, provides a different perspective on forever. We are promised if we are in Christ, we will spend forever with our Lord.
“Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:17
Shouldn’t this give us a new perspective? Perhaps the large amounts of time we spend waiting in lines or sitting in waiting rooms are our opportunities to spend time with Him. We can choose to pray, read His Word, or share with someone else who feels like they’re waiting “forever” about the true, eternal love we have. You could even share those lyrics above with them, because how true they are in El Olam.
