What happens on the Monday following Easter when the candy and discarded broken and bent baskets are heaped into the clearance bin and the backdrop shifts? Our excitement and joy may wane and the treasure become less distinct. John Piper believes this is the time we should draw upon the strength of our brothers and sisters sharing ours in return as "...our worst spiritual and emotional collapses often follow in the wake of our happiest, most victorious experiences."

Love Poured Out | So Amazing, So Divine
Shift our gaze to the "love uttermost" of our Savior Christ Jesus as we focus on the days leading up to the death of Jesus(Good Friday)and Easter. Dive into unimaginable love, love without boundaries, encumbrances, love wrapped in humility, love expressed as unfathomable mercy, amazing love poured out covering us in limitless grace.
It is often difficult to wait patiently; silently as someone's story pours forth. We selfishly or inattentively want to rush in during the first pause. We can cultivate community and relationships if we learn to listen intently with focused other centeredness.
