Our Restless Longing: God's Hound of Heaven
Introduction
I watched a series on Netflix and a movie on Amazon a couple of years ago in which the protagonist in each was an atheist - depressed, lonely, snarky, and absolutely interesting, but desperately looking for… longing for… meaning. It was sort of sad to observe the writers’ attempts to guide their characters in their pursuit for meaning in a life without God. I had a heavy heart as I reflected on how hollow their efforts were, no matter how well put together the stories were. They each had a longing no temporal solution could ultimately fill, though they both sought an optimistic ending. One did better than the other in moving Godward. In this life there’s always hope.
