And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.–Job 1:20-21

The LORD is constantly and giving me things and taking them away. Today the LORD took something away from me that I valued very much. But I was so content. Content beyond my own understanding. I was hurt and sad, but I felt God’s presence. His Word comforted me. I cried and laughed at the same time. It was wonderful. I know I sound like a charasmatic right now. Oh well. This is how I am.

Repentance. That is real repentance. How beautiful a thing it is to worship. How beautiful to bring oneself low and know that God is so High. To know that the Triune God of Scripture chooses to covenant with us. Blessed be the name of the LORD!
