25 The Return of Wonder
Something beautiful is happening in Gen Z:
wonder is returning.
Not emotional hype.
Not mystical escapism.
Not aesthetic spirituality.
Real wonder.
The wonder of:
- God whispering to those who offer their choices and character to Him
- lives transformed
- real repentance
- miracles of habits and vices changing once our character has learned the needed lesson
- sacrificial generosity
- daily love
- supernatural unity
- purity that shocks the world
- joy that cannot be explained
- courage, poise, and wisdom in the face of cultural hostility
- spiritual authority
- answered prayer
- Heaven touching dirt
Gen Z is the first generation in a long time willing to believe that this could be real again.
Wonder awakens when:
- the fake fades
- self-life is abandoned into trust of Him
- the plastic disintegrates
- the System collapses
- the wax museum melts
- the puppet strings are snapped
- the Lion roars
- the Spirit moves
- the Ecosystem is trusted in humility and courage
Wonder is not a feeling.
Wonder is the soul’s response to Reality.
And Jesus is Reality.
Gen Z sees Him now—
not the wax museum Him,
but the Lion, the Lamb, the Living One.
And their eyes widen.
Wonder returns.
