Often when I’m in a season where I’m thinking “how could this get any worse, when is this going to turn around?!” My mind bounces back to these stories and to times in my life where Jesus did show up with a surprise (He always does eventually, and in His perfect timing). I’m reminded of the rock bottoms and my human vision compared to the ways that His better vision sees the possibilities of outcomes I cannot yet see. His surprises are always ultimately better, even when they have space for significant growing pains.
