From the very beginning, that Eden beginning, that has always been and always is, to this day, His secret purpose – our return to our full glory. Appalling – that He would! Us, unworthy. And yet since we took a bite out of the fruit and tore into our own souls, that drain hole where joy seeps away, God’s had this wild secretive plan. He means to fill us with glory again. With glory and grace.
~~ Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts, Chapter 1.
We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature,
but not the wisdom of this age, or of the rulers of this age,
who are coming to nothing.
No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom,
a wisdom that has been hidden and that God
destined for our glory before time began.
1 Corinthians 2:6,7
Still diggin',
