All over the world, we are experiencing dreadful difficulty, uncertainty, and disruption to our lives. Reality is being uncovered— systems of evil and injustice can be seen in greater clarity, and our collective “normal” has been radically overturned.
Facing this confusion and despair can be difficult; but, eventually, it is when everything seems uncertain that the spiritual journey provides us both meaning and direction. God uses tragedy, suffering, pain—and even death to guide us into greater Love.
Despite the uncertainty and disorder, our present moment is an opportunity to awaken to depth, transformation, love, and hope. Amid the widespread need for healing, reality invites us to discover what is lasting and what matters.
Romans 5:3-5 "We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love."
