Suffering is the wrong word: striving is not right either. But there is a deeper place you can go to – a higher realm, a further revelation, that people who have paid a great price get to see, not through human effort but through revisiting their own moments of upheaval and re-evaluating them.

See what had happened, through Jesus’ eyes – your real eyes! Did you take that opportunity all the way to where miracles abound? That challenge was and is your open door to greater and ever greater revelation and experience. Humility will take you a l-o-o-o-ng way!

How long have you been completely committed? With no flipping back and forth, in and out? Do you now think you’re the last word in … everything? Go back to that place where you were vulnerable. God is waiting for you there.
