As we turn the corner from disappointment to fulfillment, from expectations to expectancy, this blessing seems appropriate. Given to Henri Nouwen by his spiritual mentor …

May all your expectations

be frustrated.

May all your plans be thwarted.

May all of your desires

be withered into nothingness.

That you may experience the powerlessness and

poverty of a child and sing and dance

in the love of God the Father,

the Son and the Spirit.

Praying for you today, to sing and dance in the love of God…

  1. We indeed cannot DANCE until the noise of listening to ourselves is translated into the KINGDOM and we begin listening to Our Father in heaven calling out the dance steps. Thanks Kari, I see you Dance to the Love our Our Father…..dance, dance, dance:):):)

  2. That is the perfect blessing for a parent! It reminds me how, in coming “undone”, I am refined and drawn closer to God. So true! Love it. Thanks for sharing it.
