The real essence of the universe is endless grace – which is the theological term for surprises. – Ann Voskamp
Yeah – there are weeds and disappointments and seeming failures. There are days that tear out still-beating chunks of your bare heart, whole seasons that feel like every breath is through burning smoke. There is always hope. The real essence of the universe is endless grace – which is the theological term for surprises. As long as there is still time –there will be surprises.
Apparent failures can be the way your Father births a successful faith.
Shalom and I fill vases with wildflowers.
“See? Doesn’t matter if you didn’t get to plant sunflowers this year, Mama. God was growing something else to fill things up.”
And I swallow hard and nod. God is always growing something to fill the empty places up. And it’s always possible – joy is always surprisingly possible. You can have joy any moment you turn hidden greed for more into honest gratitude for now.
No matter the prison, you can be Freed by Gratitude.
Joy isn’t about how much our lives have, but how much we enjoy our lives.
Joy is never made by Having More. Joy is always made by EnJoying More.
