After the Even If posting from Monday, what should show up a day or two later but the pertinent message HERE including the lines
Once you’ve heard a child cry out to heaven for help,
and go unanswered,
nothing’s ever the same again.
Nothing.
Even God changes.
Reminders of Bart’s message in Even If?
That prose by William Brodrick concludes with this hopeful commentary
We have to be candles, burning between hope and despair,
faith and doubt, life and death,
all the opposites.
It Is Well With My Soul! May it be so…
POTENTIAL ACTIONS:
- Find a candle and lighter/match and carry them to a room you can darken. Spend a few minutes in the darkness, allowing your mind to settle in to the setting. Then light that candle. Settle in. Take a few minutes to thank God – – for the darkness, for the light, and for whatever AHA experiences this brings
- Perhaps time for another listen to the song Even If? (HERE)
Enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit!
