Only (Abba) the God who takes all of our loss & grief to the cross
can give us the gift of solidarity in suffering.
Only the cross lives at the intersection of both
our deepest griefs,
& our deepest gratitudes –
to show us the Way toward fully living.
Only when we see, everyday, how
our griefs are wholly answered at the cross,
can we boldly live our days with unquestionable gratitude.
Because maybe…
What if (Abba) God doesn’t have to take away our situation,
for us to still take joy, because our greatest joy is
that He still takes us?
Though nothing may seem well in our situation,
when Jesus is our well within
that quenches & satisfies —
then it’s always well with our souls.
When you start to mark your days and time —
you start to wake to the fact that you don’t ultimately need more time — what you need is to
experience more joy in the time you’re gifted.
And even if all we long for never happens —
the joy in every moment is that we get to belong to Him.
Maybe…. just maybe…
Our soul is always well,
because in all our moments,
it’s home to the One who is the Well of Life.
