Even 

the hard

pathways

overflow

with abundance.

To this truth

I testify.

 

 

Hard pathways

give you some

blisters

on your 

worn out

heart.

 

 

But 

to not 

tread them

is mostly

not

an option.

 

Hard pathways

lead us

through high mountains

where we are

blind to the beauty

because the 

weight we carry

is weighing us 

down.

 

 

Hard pathways

take us deep

into confusing 

forests

where we are

oblivious to the glory

because the 

anxiety is rising

and cutting off our air supply.

 

But even

the hard pathways

overflow

with abundance.

 

 

Abundance is a person.

Abundance

drips

down

all over

those 

hard pathways.

God 

overflows

into our 

weakness,

our worry,

our hard pathway.

 

Sometimes,

oftentimes,

the one time

we’ll give God

the time,

our time,

is on

the hard

pathways.

 

 

And just there

where we are

most desperate,

most lost,

most ready

to give up

Abundance

drips in,

and then

overflows.

 

God 

in the tears.

God

in the dark.

God

in the hard.

 

 

Revealing

his superhuman,

supernatural,

just plain “wow”

ability

to recycle

all the hard

into more goodness

then we can handle.

 

 

So crown the year,

with all it’s

tears and pain,

and all its

joy and fruit,

with a bountiful harvest.

Overflow

all the hard

with all of you,
Papa.

With all 

Your sweet, unexpected

Abundance.
