"The Divine Paradox" was written by me as an expression of love and gratitude for how God changes us into a new creation. He wastes nothing, not even a single teardrop, in using all our experiences to grow us and transform us.

The Divine Paradox

In giving we receive.
In loving we are loved.
In losing we gain.
In surrender we are victorious.
In dying we are born.
In forgiving we are forgiven.
In accepting we are accepted.
In death we find life.
In weakness we find strength.
In quiet we find music.
In letting go we are saved.
In pain we are healed.
In suffering we are restored.
In brokeness we are mended.
In pruning we grow.
In emptying we are filled.
In submission we find power.
In darkness we find light.
In mystery we find understanding.
In stillness we find God.
In losing our life we find The Life.
In the paradox of faith we are transformed......

"And we know that in all things God works for the good
of those who love him, who have been called
according to his purpose."
Romans 8:28

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, '
plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.'"
Jeremiah 29:11

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:
The old has gone, the new is here!"
2 Corinthians 5:17
