Thanks feeds our trust...Manna with thanks, eat the mystery of the moment with trust, and am nourished another day - or refuse it... and die. Jesus calls us to surrender and there's nothing like releasing fears and falling into peace. This is what I have always wanted and never knew: this utter trust, this enlivening fall of surrender into the safe hands. There is no joy without trust!"

His love letter forever silences any doubts: "His secret purpose framed from the very beginning [is] to bring us to our full glory (1 Corinthians 2:7 NEB)."

"We 'have' all received on grace after another, but we only recognize the glory of God in this moment 'when we wake to the one grace after another'."
