Even with my head down, even with my arms crossed, even while spewing angry words at Him, I could see His light, both on my right and on my left.
Suffering is sacred ground?
We often judge God’s presence based on whether or not suffering stopped. This is not the only criteria; and, indeed, for most of us, it can miss where God shows up so vibrantly.
Leveling the mountain
God comes to us, often without fanfare. We can learn to see. We must learn to see. This vision takes the mountains of our fears, our angers, our accusations, our panic and eases them down, leveling them…
