Though it may be "the way it is" in our host culture, we KNOW it is "NOT the way it HAS to be" -- it can be, in fact is, different in other places! So we LONG for "the better way" of which we have tasted! I think this is also how it is for us on earth who have "tasted" of the goodness of God's Kingdom -- we cry over all that is "broken" as we long for more of God's Ways to break into our world and TRANSFORM not only us, but our societies as well! It is a longing for what is good, not just for us, but also for our neighbour! :-) May all your struggles turn into "fuel" for the Mission of God -- the Kingdom of God made evident to those who are hungry, thirsty, ready, for something better!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250382821171996887.post-67680631360228054142013-02-14T00:05:28.337+02:002013-02-14T00:05:28.337+02:00Sounds overwhelming!
