Everyone has a \\u201cpromised land\\u201d that they are dreaming about, striving for, working towards, delaying other things in order to be able to attain. We want this in an uncommon way, far more than we want other things and we are willing to change the way we act, plan and live in order to achieve it. The problem for most of us the \\u201cpromised land\\u201d is a false promise, more akin to a \\u201cNeverland\\u201d than a \\u201cPromised land\\u201d. Inevitably this ideal that we dream of, which is, we believe, not far off in our future (house, car, spouse, better job, more money, etc.) will let us down\\u2026 and if it doesn\\u2019t and our idols become our joy then our problem is far worse. In any case, we are fully aware that there is a wall between us and that promised land, a wall separating us from walking in joy. Our big problem is that we have bought into a neverland rather than a true promised land and the very thing we are longing for may be the wall that is separating us from what Jesus has already accomplished by tearing the separation between us and God apart on the cross.
