Forever?

Have you ever wondered why we want certain things to last forever? Is it because we think that we can't live without it or the thought of something actually lasting forever gives us some type of joy and we love that feeling? But even when we were little we were always taught that things won't last. Whether it is toys, clothes, money, cars, and even people. When you think about it if most things don't last forever why do we think that love or even relationships will last because it's really the tolerance level we have for one another. So what is forever? For me forever is whatever stands the test of time and doesn't change. An example of that for me would the word of God, its been the same for years. "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away." (Mark 13:31)
