This is my awakening, that while my heart was fast asleep You were resurrecting me. I thought that I would never breathe. I thought the pain would never leave. But You’re redeeming everything. This is my awakening. I’m never going back to sleep. How could I after what I’ve seen. This is my awakening. There’s color now in everything. Color now in everything.

“If you’re suffering right now, you don’t have to pretend it’s all good. You don’t have to add, ‘But praise God.’ When Jesus was hours from crucifixion, he didn’t sing in the garden or act hyper-spiritual. He was sweating blood. He asked the Father for a way out. But Jesus ultimately went to that cross with joy: not a shallow consolation that knows no pain, but a joy deepened by sorrow and recognizing the hurt of humanity. God is always trying to make you more human and not less. You can cry out in agony. In that honesty, God is establishing great character in you. Such a Christian is both happier and sadder at the same time, because they long for a better home and already have one.”

“I asked for wisdom and He said, “Fear Me.” I asked for direction and He said, “Know Me.” I asked for joy and He said, “Look at Me.” I asked for contentment and He said, “Find your all in Me.”
