As a reader and a writer, I long for this perfect eternal finale to the
ultimate story of our lives; and as a romantic idealist, I believe it
is inevitable.
What kind of a God would be satisfied with
anything less than this? If God is truly "Abba-Daddy," then he will not
rest until every single one of his children joins him at the climax of
the story.
I know this because I
know how God feels about me.
If I verbally abused him and ran away, he
would chase me without ceasing (Jonah).
If I fell into a pit, he would
scoop me up and carry me home (the lost sheep).
If I prostituted myself,
he would woo me, marry me and mend my broken heart with his kisses
(Hosea's wife).
If I beat and killed him he would take me into the grave
and resurrect me anew (Israel).
If I sold my soul to the devil he would
buy it back!
Abba-Daddy is love.
"Love always protects
Always trusts
Always hopes
Always perseveres
Love never fails."
God
will bring his romantic love story to its "happily ever after" climax
for me ... and for you ... and for every person who ever existed, exists
and will exist.
"And they all lived happily ever after..."
