I have always thought of myself as a leader and not a
follower, but then I start to think and I realize that God is a follower. The
following that He does is not behind someone else. It is of dreams. He is a
dreamer of sorts. And if He is a follower then that means I might be as well. I
am not greater than He to not to be.
But, dreams? Dogs, some other animals do and we dream. But,
God? What does He dream about? Well, I do not know. I think He does, because we
dream for people, hope and the future. This is life and He is life. So, somehow
He must dream. His dreaming may not be as selfish as ours might be. His might
be that we end up doing the right things and smile all day long. Sitting around
friends and the sunset behind and all there is that moment. Everyone laughing
and smiling. I think that might be the dreaming He does. Hoping that all is
fine and dandy.
Sure He is able to see the future, but if freewill is a
thing then He knows all the possibilities. The outcome is the mystery for Him.
He sees the future and knows what may happen and then it is the unlikely of probability
that we choose and He was hoping, dreaming that is what we would choose, but
again it would be nearly impossible that we would choose that path. So, He
hopes that we would surprise Him. Freewill may it be true then He surely will
have dreams and hopes for us. Predestination; that has no more for hopes or
dreams. But, I believe in a mixture of both. That is not the point of this.
Digression is my curse.
When I think about what He might being dreaming about; I
think: It is a similar notion of that feeling when you worked so hard on an
article or a story and you finally finished it and you just sit back on your
chair and smile. It is a peaceful smile. A smile of knowing that you completed
your work. And this smile give you the sign that you may rest. It is a warming
feeling. I imagine it in this: The Sun’s light hitting the window and you can
barely see its rays. A fan humming away as it cools you. Then you hear birds
singing their songs and everything seems to come to together. What can do wrong?
Nothing. All your work that you have been slaving away is finish and there is nothing
to do, but rest and smile. That’s what I think the Creator of All hopes for and
dreams about.
It has always been about us. He wants us to dream for the
sky to change colors. To have something that that He can’t experience just yet.
I also think that He really wants us to surprise Him. To go off script. Throw
the book away and see what happens. But, He knows and I know that might not
happen. That is nearly impossible. We have already sealed our fates. But, we
can dream. We can hope. That is all that we can do with our live and let that
move us. That is what life is about. Hoping and dreaming. There might be a surprise
or two waiting for us as well.
So, He follows His dreams. He hopes we will too.
