Failure Does Not Shape You; The Way

Sometimes We Do Not Realize How Much We Have To Be Grateful For Until It Is Threatened.

One Of The Most Painful Aspects Of Suffering Is The Loneliness Of It. Others May Offer Support Or Empathy, But No One Can Walk The Road To Moriah In Our Place.

We Must Learn To Cast Off Our Anxieties Because We Have So Many Of Them. The World Destroys Spiritual Life By Generating Constant Anxiety. Jesus Said That The Life Of The Gospel Is Choked Out By The Cares Of This World. We Know This To Be True Yet We Are More Chained And Tethered To The World Than Ever Before In The Human Race.

I Hate How Hard Spiritual Transformation Is And How Long It Takes. I Hate Thinking About How Many People Have Gone To Church For Decades And Remain Joyless Or Judgmental Or Bitter Or Superior.

In A Contagious World,we Learn To Keep Our Distance. If We Get Too Close To Those Who Are Suffering, We Might Get Infected By Their Pain. It May Not Be Convenient Or Comfortable. But Only When You Get Close Enough To Catch Their Hurt Will They Be Close Enough To Catch Your Love.
