Eden will return
Do you ever think that the universe might be heading towards restoration, or does it seem more like this is the way things will always be?
I was thinking about this the other day.
All the struggles within myself.
Fear. Hurt. Pain.
All the things that have gone wrong.
Wondering if things can ever possibly be the way they are supposed to be.
What are they supposed to be? I don't know, but not this.
Then I look at other people.
I get angry when I see how people have to struggle...even at God sometimes (whoa, a Christian mad at God?!).
I see a friend struggling, beat down, things just never seem to go right, and they feel it. They see no light ahead. No hope for things to ever change.
"Why does it have to be like this, God?" I demand, frustrated. "There's no way this is fair..."
It's like a deep sense of...something...that this isn't right.
Then I remember, it's not. This isn't the way things were meant to be.
It won't always be this way, though. No matter how bad things become, the only thing that lies before us is restoration - through Jesus, that is where everything eventually leads.
"Look, I am making all things new!" - Rev. 21:5
