THE FIRE THAT BLACKENS MY HORIZON

in

The very fire that blackens my horizon warms my soul. The darkness that oppresses my mind sharpens my vision. The flood that overwhelms my heart quenches my thirst. The thorns that penetrate my flesh strengthen my Spirit. The grave that buries my desire deepens my devotion. Man’s failure to comprehend this intention of God is one of life’s true calamities.
