Eternal life, according to Jesus in John 17:3, is the knowledge of the Triune God. If this is so, then our eternal vocation is to know God and enjoy Him forever. Also, if this holds true, then our endeavors here on earth must be to know Him as much as we can, with a singular and simple focus.

Amidst the daily noise around me, You speak
With a forceful nudge my hardened walls You breach
Recoiled into my dead heart You find me
Insistent on my idolatry You still reach me
