The mystery of our anticipated kingdom lies in the fact that it is both present and future, now and not yet. It overlaps the edges and sometimes intersects the very heart of this ragged world—but it comes from another place altogether. In those overlapping,intersecting moments, our desire is most keenly felt. We know we’re made for more than this. We’re just not sure whether to bury our longings or embrace them—whether to deny the disappointments of everyday life or dive deeper and plumb their depths. Like it or not, we live each day struggling to reconcile “how it is” with “how we hoped it would be.”
(I'm not even through the first chapter and I'm loving this book!)
