Quote

I don't think of myself as an author. But simply as a grateful child of God. John 3:27 has long been a life verse: A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from heaven. Any more words will only be solely a gift from Him. I can only faithfully wait.

But wells don't come without first begging to see the wells wells don't come without first splitting open hard earth, cracking back the lids. There's no seeing God face-to-face without first the ripping.

Lament is a cry of belief in a good God, a God who has His ear to our hearts, a God who transfigures the ugly into beauty. Complaint is the bitter howl of unbelief in any benevolent God in this moment, a distrust in the love-beat of the Father's heart.

When we lay the soil of our hard lives open to the rain of grace and let joy penetrate our cracked and dry places, let joy soak into our broken skin and deep crevices, life grows. How can this not be the best thing for the world? For us?
