Your Greatest Hurt

[Ferd]

Those who know me know Ive walked a difficult path at times. Ive written about some of it. But what I have always found is there is someone close, whos path has been such that I happily walk my own without complaint. They walk a road more difficult and do so with grace.

Some have posted in this thread things that shake me. I am blessed by your strength and heartbroken for your suffering.


This past weekend, I preached and touched on the Egyptian plague of darkness. The scripture says it was a darkness that could be felt and the people of God only had small light in their own homes.

Ive been in places like that. Darkness that was palpable. Darkness that could be felt… with only the slightest tiny bit of light… at times I am not even sure there was that much. But God is a lamp to our feet. He has carried me in the past… and that is my little light when I face the darkness.

Yes, and unless one has that experience of darkness trying to envelope you, to overtake you, they will never know how hard it is to break out of that. And yes, God always shines a light at some point in time into the darkness so that you can find your way out.
