♥️ Curious. Have you ever written about the disordered idea about that that you already had your “portion” of suffering and now God “owed” you easier times? I think I recognized this thinking in my prayer… somehow me misreading/misunderstanding Romans 8:28?
"I had waited there for you": Come, Lord Jesus.
Oh Emily, I love this poem! So many layers of beautiful contained in it. Thank you for this Advent retreat.
