DO YOU BELIEVE IN FOREVER?

“I am willing to wait, just not forever”, I always make use of this quote for I do believe that love is not all about waiting because everything in this world will all soon fall into an end. We are living in a temporary place for the true meaning of it will only be experienced with our Almighty God. However, I can’t say if forever really exist or not for it depends on different perspectives of people about life and love. It is a matter of how people interpret and believe on it based on their life experiences. Nowadays, why do people tend to wonder if forever does exist or not? What do  forever really means? Where can we find the forever we are looking and fighting at? Does forever really matters in life?

According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, forever is an endless time or extremely long time. As the meaning goes on, forever is really impossible to achieve or to exist in this world that we are living at for we all know that everything has its own ending because life is too short only. This is one side of what we all know forever as an application to life, words, and especially time. Like in movies, every story will result to an end either a happy ending or a sad one. In race, the starting line will soon come into a finish line because it is necessary to have its starting and endpoint. Every problems will never remain as problems for there are always a way to end those challenging happenings in our life. However, there is another side of forever and that is when we apply it to love. For example, for some couples and lovers, most of them believe in forever because of the love or the extreme feeling of happiness they are experiencing. In family, love will never be absent for it is the number one ingredient to happiness as well. It is a proof that as long as love reigns, forever will remain in our lives regardless if we believe or not of its existence.

We should not assume, we must believe. Nothing is impossible in this world. Although there are hindrances that we need to face, still it is just a measurement of our strengths and faith. We must believe for what we could do and trust our God that his plans are better than our own plans for ourselves. That endings might happen but his timing will always be perfect. His time for everything that forever will soon exist, maybe not at this very moment but it is possible with his presence and together with him we will build the forever we are looking and fighting at.
