The hope is that the destruction that comes is a prelude to the reconstruction that God envisions for us and provides for us as a gift. God will deal with our misdealing, and we will come to know that we are indeed understood to the depths of our beings. We are creatures who need discipline and correction, while at the same time creatures who cannot live without the one who does the disciplining and the correcting. We need not fear, but can take heart, for the Lord is with us. When we are loved in the way that Paul describes, our need to know that we make sense to at least one other person is satisfied.
Love can bear such a burden, even the validation of another's existence.
Love can believe that another life is as important as the lover's. This reaches to the depth of understanding, where there is no room for indifference to the one understood, but only an accepting love. But, lest we settle only for a human focus around ourselves in terms of purpose and love and making sense, let us magnify Jesus, who manifests his glory with patience, enduring the rejection in Nazareth as but a prelude to his final rejection upon the cross. His epiphany star will not rise in the east any longer, but will only ascend next on the cross on Golgatha, that other hill from which the world will seek to throw down the salvation of God and treat it as unnecessary. Jesus knew that the qumos of humanity was nothing compared to the orgh of God.
