The Best of all Possible Worlds

I was watching a movie and I stopped to analyze the author's and director's view of human nature. The author believed that in a perfect world, full of family values, the desires of the people are repressed. The desire for art, sex, relationship, and discovery is fully repressed and no one seeks to know about it. (Sidenote: sex should only occur in the context of a monogamous, committed God-honoring relationship.) 

I believe different. I believe that a God's perfect world is much different from our dream. Our dream of a perfect world is where everyone fits, and plays nice. Everyone does everything perfectly and is acts in each relationship perfectly. I believe that God created us to do so much, to be so much more than we will ever know (on our own). I believe that as Chrisitian that we have a duty to enjoy the good things God gives us (1 Timothy 6:17); Ecclesiastes 2:24 is another good verse. I believe that we have a duty to enjoy nature, to our nature, and to enjoy the beauty of God that is showcased in others. We are born with talents, we are blessed with gifts, we work hard to gain skills; through these we can see the beauty of God and we should take the time to enjoy it. We are encouraged by the company of others, by the humor and comfort they bring. I believe it is our duty before God to enjoy those moments and to be grateful for it. 

In Isaiah 55:1, and Revelation 22:17 God invites to come to Him. He invites to enjoy Him, to be satisfied by Him, to adore Him. I believe that one day we will and the "perfect" world that we see will be MUCH different than our dreams (a verse should go here). 

I think we will always be moving satisfying our need to give  (and be recieved), satisfying our need for beauty, for hardship, and for relationship. I think (in my own imagination) that a perfect life with Him would be quite invigorating/interesting.

I didn't mention the name of the movie because I wouldn't recommend it for anyone else.
