Following Christ is a life of surprise. I’ve not thought of it this way but it’s true. I used to think that the Christian life could be described by rules and expectations, the straight and narrow. That might be true in one sense, but following Him is experiencing surprises of joy and peace when I could have expected complete negativity. Hod provides the grace and mercy just when we need them. Nicky summarizes our experiences as surprised by abundance and passion, which are contrary to the cultural norm as fear of being without and anxiety. God provides surprising bursts of wisdom when we need it the most, a spirit of community with like minded followers of Christ, and eye witness accounts of generosity and people being good to others. How could we neglect or minimize what He does.
