But I also know beautiful things are frightening. When something beautiful happens it’s sometimes like an amputation, like your heart is being cut out with a knife. You don’t ever think when you are in extreme pain that you are being saved, chosen, picked for relationship, set aside to be loved. You can never really believe pain. It’s almost always something beautiful transitioning to something better, the whole time masquerading as a tragedy.”

Don Miller’s dog, Lucy, is making a guest appearance on his blog for the next few days…this is her telling of the day Don took her home. She’s a very eloquent dog! Take a look at this sweet story and consider; have you ever been picked? What was it like? Scary? Exciting? Did you really want to be picked in the first place?

I think it’s like that sometimes with the life of faith in God. One day we realize what we’ve really gotten ourselves into and we wish we had never taken the red pill (to use a Matrix analogy). Pain surprises us–the pain of being chosen. And then after a while, God surprises us with the truth that we really are his Beloved. It’s a surprising journey. What has that journey been like for you?
