Henry Nouwen’s You Are The Beloved: Daily Meditations for Spiritual Living shares this meditation today:
"Learn the discipline of being surprised not by suffering but by joy. As we grow old… there is suffering ahead of us, a suffering that will continue to tempt us that we have chosen the wrong road… But don’t be surprised by pain. Be surprised by joy, be surprised by the little flower that shows its beauty in the midst of a barren desert, and be surprised by the immense healing power that keeps bursting forth like springs of fresh water from the depth of our pain."
Lord, show me little moments of joy today. And let me be surprised by them!
