“You got to have a dream”

Morning: Psalms 46, 48; Isaiah 62:10-12; 2 Corinthians 5:16-6:2

Evening: Psalm 90; Revelation 21:1-6

My parents’ South Pacific record had a song with the line: “You got to have a dream; if you don’t have a dream, how you goin’ to have a dream come true?” John of Patmos dreams of the new reality that is coming, a new heaven and a new earth, a new human community where Love is at home …  Don’t we all share such a dream?  Oh that we might keep inviting Love to make its home in us – as individuals and as communities.  Is this ‘pie in the sky’?  No, even realists ‘got to have a dream’.
