A thought for the day
I lead a Sunday morning Bible study class in our little church. This morning, I was privately overcome with the long list of prayer needs, sensing through it all the many hurts, the hearbreak, the need and the sorrow that gave rise to each request.
It fit with the text and the lesson, but it was still hard, knowing those needs were - and are - not abstract and theoretical, but quite real.
This afternoon, I came across a quote that addresses the matter better than I can.
God Whispers
to us in our pleasures,
Speaks to our conscience,
but shouts in our pains
-- C.S. Lewis
and that's true.
