It was kind of like that, the rock. Super smooth on the inside, from how it split in two when thrown at the ground.

Completely and totally incomprehensible. I think it is beyond our ability to fathom. But almost every time i look upon nature i think this is a little bit of heaven on earth.
Right? Its just a glimpse. Can you even consider eternity? Think about that for a moment. Living FOREVER. Its actually kind of a scary thought. LOL
Never ending, just are, again no my mind kinda tilts at the thought, but it will be wonderful.
I don't know if its ever crossed your mind, but have you ever thought of you messing up in eternity (somehow, if it were possible)? One day I read a verse and it was so profound.
Hebrews 7:25 King James Version (KJV)
25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
He lives forever, and intercedes on my behalf. I consider eternity and think, He has me even then.

I always think of myself established and perfected, but that liveth forever to make intercession... well that does make u think. Hmmm, comforting is the constant of Him.

for the empath
there are situations where we sense that someone hates us
and, holding onto the attitude of bitterness is the worst thing you can do.
that episode of bitterness can happen months or years ago, and if you let the memory of that bitterness influence you till you can't distinguish now from before, you might lash out as if "out of the blue", all because bitterness clouded you
Therefore, Jesus wat us to forgive, even if the other person may hate you or refuse to forgive you.

It makes sense that people are Christian empaths - because being an empath simply means you have empathy and you have feelings. It's one in the same. Jesus himself practiced empathy towards others. You can't have compassion without empathy - they go hand in hand. I think the real issue here is that a lot of people are wrongly defining the word empath, and have the wrong idea about what it actually is. Human beings are empaths by nature.

and Satan is clever enough to turn that against us somehow
