I am struck into deeply once again. From a different place along the journey.
This time at the close of a day spent hearing the stories of Christ's church persecuted.
Beat down again & again - yet grown strong & deep & true.
What do I surrender? Is it asked of me to give up good things & feel pain?
To identify with loss for Christ's sake and know His Glory through it?
The question that strikes to the core is:
Why not?
A friend learns this in her way, along with me.
the love of God is deep and just and good and painful.
I hear that, though I do not quite know what to do with it, or if it means true death
or just the willingness to see death.
