When all else fails, Christ alone remains.
And whether the circumstances are only perceived as such or are in actuality isolating, the result can be the same--to direct to clarification of reliance upon Him, alone. He alone is worthy, He alone can heal. He alone can deliver.
He, alone, does good.
And He is worthy adamant, wholehearted devotion. Regardless the cost.
He has to direct in that pursuit. And to clarify focus, along all the while.
One of the preachers recently said something to the effect of, "In Christ, there is no meaningless suffering." And something of, "It either makes you bitter or makes you better."
May He make us better, then.
Better, all the while.
More pliant in His loving hands.
The cornerstone, Our cornerstone. Upon whom those who fall are shattered, while those upon whom He falls are utterly pulverized. There doesn't feel much difference, perhaps. But He said it, so whatsoever it is of distinction...it does exist.
Perhaps ever breaking, yet breathing still. By grace, alone.
