In the End All Will Be Alright


"This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more." Hebrews 8:10-12 or Jeremiah 31.

This is in part a response to the ever so intelligent T. "because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest." I believe God will reveal himself in different ways, but as this verse says He will reveal himself. It is hard for any of us to answer the question, "If there is a tribe somewhere in the middle of nowhere and haven't heard the word of God will they be saved?" I don't think it is a question we can answer, however the verse above sheds light upon the answer. God is merciful and just, He only punishes for our faults.

There is so much knowledge out there in the world. It is depressing to think of all the time we waste watching television or simply messing around. If we replaced the time we waste with reading a book, I wonder if we would have so many problems in the world. Television is probably one of the worst things in the world for this exact reason.

Isn't it amazing what people can think of? The intricate stories people can create is just mind boggling. The quotes I inundate my journals with, people thought up; it's just phenomenal.

I was thinking about what we mean when we say "feel". We say things like, "i feel sad" or "i feel for you" or "i have feelings for you" but what does that really mean? Just a quick little excerpt of what I wrote down:

What does the word “feel” imply?
Does “feel” mean just the sensation,
Or is there more?
For what is a feeling that is not dwelled upon?
Well, then it is just a sensation, but…
When the word “feel” is contemplated,
Well, that is where our minds and souls connect,
That is when we know with all certainty,
That in the end,
All will be alright,
That we have a purpose.
That we are a perfect design.


"When the word “feel” is contemplated, well, that is where our minds and souls connect; that is when we know with all certainty, that in the end, all will be alright."
~ Erich Hoefke
