“
It comes to us as a divine gift. And it comes to us when we are not our best selves, when we are not on top of our game or climbing the ladder of success and achievement. No. It comes to us when the water has risen up to our neck and we can no longer pretend, when we can no longer feign mastery of our circumstances or power over our destiny. Resurrection of our future comes only when we have honestly acknowledged the death before us, the death of the future we had imagined and attempted to construct for ourselves by sheer force. Resurrection comes when we cry out to the God of Hagar, El-roi, the God who sees.
