Introduction
More
The real change that will create Good Places begins in our hearts. As individuals we are often selfish and greedy. Why is that? We were created always to desire more. That desire does not just spring from our fallen nature. Our fallen nature takes that created desire for more and applies it to the world and to each other. The world, in this sense, is finite. It cannot satisfy our continual desire for more. Certainly we as individuals are finite and cannot, in our selves, satisfy each other’s continual desires for more. Our desire and drive continual to get more ultimately will lead us to the one infinite entity, God. The Almighty God, Creator of Heaven and Earth, is the lover of our souls. Only in the infinite God can our continual desire for more find satisfaction, only in God can we find peace. This allows us to relax and not seek from each other or the world what we cannot get from each other or the world, which helps keep us from being selfish and greedy, which helps us not be destructive in our relations with each other or the world. Our relations become destructive when we try to get from each other or from the world what we can only get from God. When we align our continual desire for more towards the infinite God then we can live at peace in the world and with each other. When we establish our connection to God through Christ all of our relationships become transformed and redeemed. Then our living in the world brings transformation and redemption to our places.
