Promised

Everybody is looking for something good... They want peace, harmony, love, happiness... It is desired by all... I know this to be true by just living on this planet... And it seems the misery continues... What a strange world...

You know that these good things are absolutely promised in the Bible... See here:

1
I saw Heaven and earth new-created. Gone the first Heaven, gone the first earth, gone the sea. 2I saw Holy Jerusalem, new-created, descending resplendent out of Heaven, as ready for God as a bride for her husband. 3-5I heard a voice thunder from the Throne: "Look! Look! God has moved into the neighborhood, making his home with men and women! They're his people, he's their God. He'll wipe every tear from their eyes. Death is gone for good—tears gone, crying gone, pain gone—all the first order of things gone." The Enthroned continued, "Look! I'm making everything new. Write it all down—each word dependable and accurate."

I'm sure other religious texts make similar promises... But for the time being we are just gonna have to wait until God fixes this mess we have created for ourselves... I believe the promises of Revelation 21... And until then I guess there's just no other way.... But to trust and obey...

I'm still disappointed sometimes... And God seems silent often... But the promises stand...
