"...vision of new man strength, I seek the sun."
- I Dreamed My Genesis. Dylan Thomas
"...the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day."
- Proverbs 4:18
Someday God will resurrect our bodies. And he will recreate heaven and earth. Everything will be remade and will be new and fully alive again. Until then, God calls us to hope for the strength he gives us today. Hoping for the resurrection does not mean abandoning this world. N.T. Wright, in Surprised by Hope said hope builds love, which in turn builds more hope. If we hope deeply for a perfect world, then we will love deeply the one we are in and seek to partner with God in recreating it. I don't believe that God lets his inspiration in our hearts go to waste. What we build now we will see later.
