There’s such a beautiful place beyond the pain and the confusion we experience on the journey to self’s death. It’s like the rainbow that can only come after the dark and stormy clouds. It’s a place of such joy and freedom! The only proper response when you reach this place is the shedding of sincere tears of gratitude. It’s overwhelming when you realize that the God of wisdom, a gift so much more precious than the finest pearls, is the God who desires to bestow wisdom on you- a sinful human being. There’s a moment so long awaited by God when we finally open our eyes and start to see things from His glorious perspective. It’s like standing on top of a high mountain that overlooks the most breathtaking of views. It’s when you realize the beauty of His plan. It’s when everything that seemed like a tangled mess starts to make perfect sense. You can only then understand that true happiness and joy are found in letting go of everything that you hold most dear. It truly is in losing yourself into the arms of God that you are finally home. It’s where you really belong.
