Blessed

This came from Rob Bell, via Twitter:

Blessed are those who don't have it all together.

Blessed are those who have run out of strength, ideas, will power, resolve, or energy.

Blessed are those who ache because of how severely out of whack the world is.

Blessed are those who stumble, trip, and fall in the same place again and again.

Blessed are those who on a regular basis have a dark day in which despair seems to be a step behind them wherever they go.

Blessed are you, for God is with you, God is on your side, God meets you in that place.

The gospel is the counterintuitive, joyous, exuberant news that Jesus brought the unending, limitless, stunning love of God to even us.

I love this. Thank you for sharing it.
 
Thank you so much, Heather. Rob Bell is one of my favorite authors, and this was just too beautiful not to share.
