Why a lawnmower and someone painting a fence?
It's the reason why I love this verse.
Obviously there's the promise of a better world to come in the next life. But I especially love this verse because it could also be interpreted to promise a better world in this life--here and now.
It's not a magic button that will suddenly make everyone hold hands and sing kumbaya. This world will have its problems all the way to the end.
But faith, as a principle of action, drives us to do what we each can do, in our own small spheres of influence, to make this world a better place.
And so, with faith, we can enjoy a better world--right now, and into the eternities.
Merry Christmas, friends. I'm grateful for the coming of Christ, who gives me the hope and strength I need to do my part in building a better world.
