The Infinite and the Eternal

“The one essential condition of human existence is that man should always be able to bow down before something infinitely great. If men are deprived of the infinitely great, they will not go on living and will die of despair. The Infinite and the Eternal are as essential for man as the little planet on which he dwells.” ~Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Possessed

I thought this quote had a lot of truth in it. I find that when I don't have sufficient reminders, either through preaching or reading, of the infinite and eternal greatness of God I begin to despair and grow weary. But when I contemplate a great, eternal, infinite, majestic God I feel my spirits lifted and my heart begins to soar. : ) I love to ponder the Infinite and the Eternal.
