Ruins

It's where he finds us...

We follow our hearts... chasing what we think leads to happiness
We follow the crowds... in order to stay relevant, (or stay under the radar)
We follow expectation laid upon us... unable to break free, or even declare ourselves "me"
We follow advice from family & friends... people who "know" us, or what's "best" for us
We follow what we think we want... every want, wish, and whim
We go where we think we're supposed to be... or expected, or suggested.

It's where we find ourselves:

Wandering...

     Lost...

          Afraid...

               Disillusioned...

                    Not sated by any of what we've done.

We stop.  Look around. Become aware of the loss of any sense of control in or over our lives.

It's in the devastation of death

...the crumbling of all we thought we knew

...the ruins of what we've made of our lives.

It's where we don't even have the strength or the power to look forward anymore, to look up.

It's there... where we find our connection to something greater than we are.

That's where He finds us.
