How old are you?

The concept of time has always been one of interest to me. 

It is so abstract. 

To help understand it, we’ve constructed a system of minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years to help us keep track of time passing. 

But is time something of age?

Possibly. 

However, time doesn’t tick at the same rate everywhere in the universe. 

For instance, if you were traveling into a black hole, time to you would remain constant. 

However, time to others outside of the black hole would speed up. If you were to look back and be able to see people further away from the black hole, everyone would be moving at an accelerated rate and aging much quicker than you. 

However, for the people outside of the black hole looking into it, time would appear to have slowed down, everything would be in slow motion. 

Interesting. 

This concept of time really doesn’t make much sense when you think about it. 

In 2 Peter 3:8 it says, “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand year, and a thousand years as one day.” 

So one day in heaven equals a thousand years on earth. 

1000yrs (earth) = 1 day (heaven)

So recalculated you could find … 

1.44 x the number of years you are = heavenly minutes you’ve been gone. 

Calculating my age 

1.44 x 20yrs = 28.8 heavenly minutes 

In regards to heaven I haven’t even been gone 30 minutes. 

That’s like no time at all.

And we constantly beat ourselves up so much for the sins we’ve made over such a short time. 

Don’t let the sins you’ve committed define you. 

You’ve lived so much longer than however old you are on earth. 

We all accomplished many great things before even coming to this life. 

Don’t forget about all the good you did to get here. 

And don’t forget to be awesome!
