or so I keep believing.
Every time I hear this song, sang by Chris Tomlin, I get pumped up and rejuvenated. There is a sense of hope that things in life will eventually turn out for the better —not that it’s not good enough already, but that what we do now is merely preparing for a future that’s greater than we can imagine. I suppose in part that is true: to be part of God’s plan means you have secured a “better” future. And to live a life that revolves around God means that you’re already part of this “great thing”.
Whenever I listen to this song, my hope in humanity is once again restored. That darkness inside people will no longer exist and be of threat to anyone else. Our city will be free of fear and the Utopia will spread to all corners of the world.
But sometimes I’d like to think that it applies to anyone and everyone; that even though life can be difficult, the results or consequences of your choices are rewarding in the end. There’s no way of knowing whether your decision is the “right” or “better” one, but there is a certain insurance that whatever it is, it’s going to be something great (kinda like how I like to think about my life).
It may be hard to understand, but if you sincerely believe that everything happens for a reason, then your “good” decisions will mount to something; it will count toward that greater thing which has yet to come.
