“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God,

“who is, and who was, and who is to come,

the Almighty.”

Revelation 1:8

*          *          *          *          *

My God is Eternal.

*          *          *          *          *

He has no beginning and no end He is the only uncreated being in existence.

*          *          *          *          *

What this means to me is that He does not live in my realm of reality.

At this point in my existence, I am still separated from the full reality of who He is.

As scripture says: 

…“I see through a glass darkly.” 

1 Corinthians 13:12

It is Jesus who gives me comfort in saying: 

“…if you have seen me you have seen the Father,”

John 14:8-9

and He is the only door into this Eternal Kingdom.

 

Amazingly, this separation is painted in scripture as a

“…twinkling of an eye.”

1 Corinthians 15:52

This “twinkling of an eye” separates my time realm, 

the place where I am right now physically,

from where He is in His Eternal realm.

Again, Jesus is the only door between the two places. 

This door always includes His Cross.

Scripture also says:

...He knew me before I was conceived.

Jeremiah 1:4-5

How amazing!

And also that

“…I am a alien and stranger here on earth,”

1 Peter 2:11

someday returning to Him, living with Him in His Eternal Kingdom.

My God is:

The Alpha and the Omega,

The First and the Last

The Beginning and the End.

Revelation 22:13

 

It is my heart’s desire to see my Eternal God

and in Matthew 5:8 it says:

…Blessed are the pure in heart,

    for they will see God.”

Therefore, I choose to purify my heart.

What Matthew 5:8  is saying is that as I purify my heart, I will experience Him.

 

My God is Eternal.
