Our trials measure our inner strength and beauty.....
Dear Great Shepard,
She had gone through and was still going through some heart squeezing stuff. Her song was asking You to be small enough for her tears! I sat in my pew wanting to jump up and scream. I was open to her pain, but I just could not contain myself.
You are Huge and You are Still. Just perfect for my tears. Thank You for how Awesome and Mighty You are and still so very Gentle.
He had prayed how he wanted the church to rise up and be able to show love to our fellow countrymen. I sat in my pew thinking if I expressed that kind of attitude, I would have expected my earthly father to say that instead of asking, DO.
You are so Strong and so Compassionate. We fail You. We weary You. Yet, You still Love us. You cheer us on to be more raw in our faith. Thank You, Heavenly Father.

Spurgeon: Transforming God
There is meaning in all of life. I am continuing to learn to still myself and quiet my heart when the 'why's' would attempt to strike up, to look beyond the situation to His deeper meaning and to see the 'how' and 'what' instead. Spurgeon had that same perspective and insight into the purposes of God.
