this narrow path

2 Peter 3:8-9


⁸But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
-this was confusing the first time i read this.. a day=a thousand years. so i tried playing with the idea a little bit in order to grasp the concept better... for me, i can probably tell you everything that i did today, from when i woke up - until now. i remember every single detail of today.. but if i were to tell you about yesterday, or the day before, or last friday,, it might be little bit of a blurr. before you know it, i'm probably not gonna remember exactly what i did on these particular days. With God, on the other hand, He will remember every single detail of every single day period. a thousand years is only a fraction for HIm. this is another great expression that portrays His powers.

⁹The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
-i love that we have a God who is like this.. He keeps His promises, He's patient, He wants the best in HIs people, and lastly, He hopes that we will seek repentance. He just wants a relationship with us and wants us to realize that no other person, thing or idol will offer us what He can offer us...
