THE GIFTPreparation For

A GOD OF SURPRISES

RIGHTEOUS folks with deep DISAPPOINTMENT

GOD’S FIRST SURPRISE…

The Characters:

I am disappointed that I still love God so little and sin so much. The truth is, I am embarrassingly sinful. I am capable of dismaying amounts of jealousy if someone succeeds more visibly than I do.

I am disappointed at my capacity to be small and petty. I cannot pray for very long without my mind drifting into fantasy of angry revenge over some past slight I thought I had long since forgiven or some grandiose fantasy of achievement.

I can convince people I’m busy and productive and yet waste large amounts of time watching television or playing on the computer.

John Ortberg
