God is a Follower...


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.
