The cave is where God resurrects things…I have been reading Ortberg again. He is helping me with the concept of failure and reminding me that God is in the cave in those very dark moments. I sometimes wonder what God is resurrecting in my dark place these days. I am grateful that God sits here with me. This is Week 1 in the Spiritual Exercises and as I watch the retreatant walk through cosmic and personal sin, I am reminded of my own. I am oftentimes humbled by how much grace there is in this world.
Today I traveled to visit a situation that is very tough to see. My heart is frustrated with the situation on so many levels. It did not go too badly today though. I have been relaxing at the hotel. I watched The Last Song and cried. That is one dark cave to sit in. It brought back memories of watching people die. Tonight I was remembering when I visited my friend’s family after she had died and how her young son had a meltdown one morning because it was picture day at school and mom was not there to dress him. Grief is so painful.
When was the last time that you sat in a cave? What did the resurrection moment look like?
Peace,
