Once a man is united to God how could he not live forever?  Once a man is separated from God, what can he do but wither and die?

C. S. Lewis

Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him?  As many as seven times?”  Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.”

Matthew 18:21-22
The Revised Standard Version

The story is told of a farmer who had lived on the same farm all his life.  It was a good farm, but with the passing years the farmer began to tire of it.  He longed for a change—for something “better.”  Every day he found a new reason for criticizing some feature of the old place.  Finally, he decided to sell, and listed the farm with a real estate broker who promptly prepared a sales advertisement.  As one might expect, it emphasized all the farm’s advantages: ideal location, modern equipment, healthy stock, acres of fertile ground, and on and on.  Before placing the ad in the newspaper, the realtor called the farmer on the phone and read the copy to him for his approval.  When he had finished, the farmer cried out, “Hold everything!  I’ve changed my mind.  I am not going to sell.  I’ve been looking for a place like that all my life!”  If you’re dissatisfied with something in your life, take time to analyze it, and see what you really have.
