It is hard to imagine that anything lasts forever and yet there are many things we treat as though they will never end.  Why is it so difficult to believe that there is a source of love that withstands everything living and dying?  All of nature cycles through birth and death.  The night goes dark and then the light dawns.  We breathe in and then out.  Generations of families pass on genetic and behavioral information.  Life is every evolving and growing just as the galaxies are.  The force of being seems to keep going despite all we do in this world to bring about destruction and death.  In the movie,  A Winter’s Tale, there is a conversation between Lucifer and one of his demons.  The demon, Pearly, admits that because of hope, he and Lucifer are losing.  No matter how much darkness they create,  they are losing “one bright star at a time.”  Perhaps our reluctance to believe in an everlasting force is because it is beyond what our minds can grasp.  Yet our souls know it deep down and our hearts sing its song with each new breath because hope is alive in them always.  Maybe God is inviting us to see everlasting hope.
