Jesus’ divine sense of humor
is not like our sense of humor.
I am lost in the dark night,
I see no light,
Nothing but black is before me,
I don’t feel Him,
I don’t see Him,
I don’t hear Him.
Yet Jesus,
with His divine sense of humor,
is directly behind me,
and if He were to reach out,
His hand would rest on my shoulder,
but He waits,
challenging me to stretch
my spiritual comfort zone,
to draw strength from
His mighty power,
to exercise holy courage,
to grow in heroic patience,
to increase my trust in His divine mercy,
to remain in His love.
And then,
in due season,
my life bears good fruit,
and I see a tiny point of light
in the distance,
shining at first like a distant star,
but it becomes more and more radiant,
and grows larger and larger,
until my whole life is embraced
by His sweet holy light,
and I experience true joy
in the deep dark night!
