sometimes i listen to this song and think, wow, wouldn't that be so nice! to wish on a star, have my dreams come true, and watch my troubles melt away.
but that's not quite the way it works.
it's actually a lot better.
if those things could happen, i would have to do them over and over, because this world is cursed by sin. it will never get better, only worse.
but there is a way to be free from the curse of sin and live forever in perfect joy and peace.
there are days when i don't think it sounds real. perfect peace? what's that? but i believe in the Prince of Peace. the God who loves this curse, broken world so much He sent His Son to die for it. a world that would never love Him in return. a world He will one day destroy. but that's all part of the story! because after this sin-cursed world is destroyed, He will make a new one, a perfect one, without sin.
so, as wonderful as it sounds to go "somewhere over the rainbow", i think i'll just stay right here, and keep trusting in my Savior to make all things good in His time. because His good is way better than my best.
