Ecclesiastes 3:11 - God Has Put Eternity In Our Hearts.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIV) He has made 
everything beautiful in its time. He has also set 
eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom 
what God has done from beginning to end. 

Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NLT) Yet God has made 
everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted 
eternity in the human heart, but even so, people 
cannot see the whole scope of Gods work from 
beginning to end.  

COMMENTARY PEARL

"More...
   When my granddaughter Stella was very 
little, she made good use of the word more when she 
really liked something. Her favorite food was 
quesadillas. No matter what time of the day - breakfast, 
lunch, or dinner - she wanted quesadillas. Only she 
called it a "dilla." 
   "Stella, what would you like to eat?"
   "Dilla."
   And usually when I would give her one, 
she would then say, "More." 
   It was the same when I read her a Bible 
story before bedtime. As soon as I finished the 
story, she said, "More." So I read her another 
story, and at the end she said, "More." So I did 
another. 
   "More." And another. "More." And on and 
on it would go. 
   Quesadillas and stories about Jesus are 
good things, and to this day, we're always happy 
to supply Stella with all she wants - of both. 
Sometimes, however, this desire for "more" can create 
problems for us--especially if we're craving more of 
the wrong things. (Like ice cream or Krispy 
Kreme doughnuts.) 
   Deep down inside we're all like little 
Stella, saying, "More." We always want a little bit 
more out of life--the newest, the latest, the 
freshest, the coolest. We want more. 
   That is the way God has wired us. But 
here's the problem: as much as we see, taste, and 
experience life, it always seems like it just isn't 
quite enough. 
   Do you know why that is? As we read in 
today's opening verse, God has placed a seed of 
eternity deep in our innermost being. In our heart of 
hearts, there is a recognition that this world won't 
be able to deliver on its promises. No matter 
what this world gives us, we find ourselves 
wanting more: More life. More hope. More joy. More 
peace. More satisfaction. And, ultimately, more of 
the presence of God Himself. 
   In heaven, those desires will be 
fulfilled in a way beyond what we can imagine. But 
until that day when we cross over to the other 
side, He willingly gives us more and more and more 
of Himself. And that's the closest thing we 
have to heaven on earth. [Every Day with Jesus by 
Greg Laurie]
