blessed

We learn in those painful moments that is just isn’t safe to bring our brokenness into the light. We didn’t feel “blessed” at all by that  failed attempt to mourn! So, we go back into hiding and suppressing, avoiding and denying.

We see the beauty of God’s call to us as individuals by name (John 10:3), which changes our status from unblessed to blessed. To be called by name gives a special level of intimacy.
