We Were Hoping

"When we find ourselves most hopeless, the road most taxing, we may also find that it is then that the Risen Christ catches up to us on the way, better than our dreams, beyond all our hopes. For it is he—not his gifts, not his power, not what he can do for us, but he himself—who comes and makes himself known to us." - Elisabeth Elliot
