when Easter joy is far from your fingertips

Another lovely, heart-deep post from A Holy Experience:

"He has touched our tears. He has cupped our broken hearts with His scars. He has whispered to the howl, “I know, I know. And I’ve come to begin the making of all things new.” We believe. Because we know. He knows our grief. We know His goodness. And the truth is – we don’t need an explanation from God like we need an experience of God.  And that is exactly what we get."
