What if life was so much more than we could ever dream?
What if the light of its wonder could penetrate
Even our deepest sorrows? Our deepest pain?
What if life was so amazing, so great, so beautiful
That even falling short of achieving our greatest aspirations
Could not dilute its sweetness?
Though darkness may be great
The light is greater.
Though my pain may be deep
Christ’s healing is deeper.
To whatever extent I may feel loss
The joy of life is surpassing.
Life is more.
I will no longer limit life.
I will not allow the magnitude of its beauty, its wonder, its value
Be bounded by the triumph of any ambition, any hope, nor any dream
Life is so much more.
So, I will be the student and I will let it teach me.
