Christ—at the bridal altar and beyond
We’ve all heard popular expressions about changing lemons into lemonade, looking on the bright side, seeing a glass half full instead of half empty. These sayings can encourage a happier outlook on life. But is optimism enough?
Seeing a half-full glass is definitely better than seeing a half-empty one. Lasting satisfaction, though, usually calls for a completely full glass. Is this even possible? Yes! There is a way to transform longing into a tangible, spiritual perspective, one that moves us toward understanding God, good, as eternal and dependable.
