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.
