Reading words by my favourite authors on New Creation restores the hope that may have fizzled as our days can sometimes be filled with dreadful things, negative thoughts, and selfish inclinations. Reminders spark up again of the the deeply wonder-filled moments to come. There are threads of goodness in the world already. These are the glimpses we should be expanding upon in our daily lives.
A great good is coming.
It is encouraging to know that Heaven is not a place that sits still. Things happen. Vineyards and gardens are planted. Houses are built. Your skills are used. Every time I think about or read Narnia again, it reminds me of our future hope as a story. It doesn't sit in stagnation. It runs free and beautiful, through lovely paths, and wide open spaces.
The glimpses of New Creation we read about tells us how it is a joyful thing that sweetens creation and becomes the perfection of all tasks at hand. The immensity of hope is that we have nothing on earth to be afraid of. Once we realize and visualize the joy that is coming, it isn't so scary anymore.
The pages of the universe contain the true and beautiful creativity of God in New Creation. We will be able to discover God's goodness when everything is deeper and more wonderful than we can even imagine now.
Our story passes through tragedy here on earth, but it will comes out with smiles on the other side. We are to be forever full of joy.
