Description
Sometimes we forget that just at the darkest hour of night, the dawn will arrive again anew. Our world is not just one of uncertainty, drought, war, and death but also a place of growth and purification. We need to be open to learn about humility, compassion, and grace. Christ reveals our destiny – to be with the Light, breaking open the clouds of isolation.
Emerging from the Mess: FInding Hope in Life’s Storms is essentially the experience of how suffering and pain alternates with great joy and fulfilment. When we reach what we believe is the limit of our strength and endurance, we need to remember to hang on, to be patient and faithful in prayer. This book’s challenge is to live every day like a resurrection day. It is all about gratitude: to see the absolute giftedness of every moment, the wonder of every encounter, the silver lining on every cloud.
