It is this way with wonder: it takes a bit of patience, and it takes putting yourself in the right place at the right time. It requires that we be curious enough to forgo our small distractions in order to find the world.

Select One Spiritual Nugget to Inspire Your Day
There is something broken in us that we can’t fix. We’ve tried, and it didn’t work. Like Paul, we’ve begged for the thorn to be taken away, but it remains. Maybe it always will. Grace is what we get instead—grace that doesn’t make sense and doesn’t go away. We want power, clarity, and control. What we get is mercy, humility, and dependence. That’s the trade. It’s humiliating and freeing. We remember moments when something unseen carried us—when we were falling apart and didn’t fall all the way. Whatever that was, we try to say yes to it again. Not because we’re holy, but because it worked. The last word will not be our bad thoughts and behavior, but mercy, love, and forgiveness. We choose mercy. We pass it on. We live as if love still matters.
May mercy, love, and forgiveness have the final word in us, again and again.
