LISTEN NOW DAILY MEDITATION | NOVEMBER 12, 2023 Cup of Sorrow, Cup of Joy When we are crushed like grapes, we cannot think of the wine we will become.

Then we need to be reminded that our cup of sorrow is also our cup of joy and that one day we will be able to taste the joy as fully as we now taste the sorrow.
