mystery

...If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world...

In search of the mystery of life, people become engulfed in a larger-than-life sense that there is some greater power, some cosmic anomaly that will reassure their existence. Despite an ever prevalent moral indifference, the question of good versus evil still lingers. People will generally favor the heroic underdog who carries a torch of the great overcoming. But because of tragedy, people may be inclined to believe that the presence of evil will forever dominate in reality and that the world is regrettably doomed to fail. We make our meager efforts to restore a crumbling foundation and to rebuild the cornerstones of hope. And yet we do not seem to understand that our efforts cannot change the course of destiny.

The hardcore truth is this: good will ultimately prevail because God is good and God always wins. This is not a point of debate or controversy. The truth, although perplexing at times, is the truth. This means that it cannot be changed nor can it cease to be what it is though people may choose to deny it. It can be skewed, embellished, broken, forgotten, and even persecuted. But it is as it always has been and always will be, and this is more than we could ever claim of our own selves. How fickle is the heart of man! What people will soon learn is that we are taken so drastically by evil only because of our failure to understand truth. If we could somehow understand that this is not our home, that we are aliens in this place, and that we belong to Someone, we might find our salvation.
