A dear friend texted me this quote this morning...
“How is faith to endure, O God, when you allow all this scraping and
tearing on us? You have allowed rivers of blood to flow, mountains of
suffering to pile up, sobs to become humanity's song--all without
lifting a finger that we could see. You have allowed bonds of love
beyond number to be painfully snapped. If you have not abandoned us,
explain yourself.
We strain to hear. But instead of hearing an
answer we catch sight of God himself scraped and torn. Through our
tears we see the tears of God.”
