![]() Supposed to be displays a longing for a different outcome, a desire for a reality that isn't realized yet. It is for this reason that we rebel against the idea of the innocent suffering. It is why death bothers us so much. Where does this idea come from that this life isn't all there is? If it were based on experience supposed to be would be reality not ideally. But we say it as an absolute, because it is not our experience that informs us that there should be something more. It is something deeper. As Solomon says, God has placed eternity into our hearts and because of this we say "supposed to" -- because one day "supposed to" will be "forever is". "You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; For You were slain and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation and have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth." Revelation 5:10-11 Comments are closed.
