"But even our most well-intending culture wants to tell you something’s wrong when life is hard. That discomfort means failure. That pain means you missed something.

That’s not true.

Maybe something is right because life is hard right now."

This is so good!!! This reminds me of the grinch-towards the end-when he's agonizing on the ground because he's feeling.

The Grinch! Such a great character haha "I'm feeeling!"

I'm learning that it takes a great deal of humility to suffer and be joyful for it. Something that takes time and trust, I think. That agonizing you noted; is like a mourning or grieving for the old heart. Very easy to say and point out, so difficult to experience.

Praise God!

His word comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable.

Stay in the path
