Monday Ponderings {July 17th}

A summer darling of mine…Bird’s-Foot Trefoil

The truth is that we’ve been blessed beyond telling by a Stranger who walked into our lives and showed us his heart, wept our tears, lived our life, and died our death.

It sounds simple and poetic except that we’ve been asked to do the same; for this is the Stranger who, according to Paul, left within our hearts the same power he carried in his own (Romans 8:10-13).

Trusting the stranger means we take off our shoes to prepare for the coming of each new person who walks into our lives. It means that we stand on tiptoe to wait for the coming of each person into the fullness of life.

Macrina Wiederkehr, Seasons of Your Heart, p. 158, emphasis mine.
