“I saw the sun begin to dim
And felt that winter wind blow cold
A man learns who is there for him
When the glitter fades and the walls won't hold
'Cause from then, rubble
What remains
Can only be what's true
If all was lost
There's more I gained
'Cause it led me back
To you”
Lyrics from the Greatest Showman soundtrack song "From Now On"
Has your plan/people/nation/world begun to fall apart???
Suffering and death are guaranteed for every person.
Rarely in history is there a "good" much less "Godly" leader
The legacy of man, in one word, is this: war
So why are we surprised at the brokenness? Why do we fight the inevitable and scream into the void? Or why are we deceived to think that he or she is good.
For me, the question is, to what end? Why is it this way? Where does the brokenness lead?
Hang out in the pit and you will find wisdom. Humility, a contrite spirit, and dare I say, the extended hand of the one who left all riches and glory to enter our mess, to weep with us and bleed for us, to take it all away.
Every evil, every disappointment, everything suffered, is well worth it if it leads to greater abiding in his presence here on earth and in the light of eternity with Christ.
