“The difference between tears and laughter is found in being aware of the presence of God.

“The difference between tears and laughter is found in being aware of the presence of God. Even when I lost my footing, God never stumbled. Not a single tear slipped by his sight. Not a single groan escaped his ear. I laughed for joy because in the moments when I felt most vulnerable and lost and alone and angry, God didn’t shy away. In the life storms that caught me unaware, God remained all knowing.
In that which took my breath away, God whispered, ‘Keep breathing.’
In the holy hush of his presence, God met me.
And God will meet you there, too.”

–Margaret Feinberg (Wonderstruck)
