I've heard it said, when you look into the face of your child you see them as all the ages they have been, and all the ages they will one day be - Maybe it's because I'm a perpetual dreamer and also frequent memory lane, but I find myself wishing him back to babyhood, while also joyfully observing him as he matures. But honestly, when I think of that young man in the future something like fear grips my heart, because the world he'll be walking into has long been broken, and I wonder how he will face it and challenge it and what he will add to it?
However, because I don't wish to set up camp amidst fear for long, I instead want to envision his magnetic energy, profound compassion and healing force mend what IS broken 💛
Friends, I think that is where our hope lies - on the other side of fear. We wrestle with it as we push our way to peace, and we foresee a future where our children will challenge and change the world they are given.
