There are times when we are driven to a most desperate place. We can go no lower. Jesus meets us, He does not forsake us. He stands up and intercedes for our souls. He bends over to pick us up, speaking wonderful things to our confused and misguided hearts. He loves us, and the purpose of our trials teach us that critical truth. We learn it in no other way.

The heavens tell us about the Glory that God has. We look up and see a universe that was created, and is now on display. I remember on an isolated beach in Mexico. One night, the entire Milky Way was revealed. I laid on the sand transfixed by it all. Suddenly, I got afraid and had the sensation of being very, very small. That awareness has never left me.
