Tonight is the night of multiple posts. Reading Jared Wilson's post today was an encouragement to me. I wholly agree with his statement of "I think that when a believer feels forsaken by God he is on some cusp of Christlikeness he could not broach otherwise."
Even from an early age, I was always the kid who had to learn the hard and painful way. Thankfully, it moulded me and I turned out a lot better... (I might have turned out a lot more like my mom than I like though!) I think God uses the same method to mould us into the likeness of His Son, the only one with whom He is pleased.
I have been on that cusp before. More than once... I firmly believe that God really had to bring me to my rope's end to finally grasp more of who He is. It is never about the "why" or even the "what (is He trying to teach me?!)". I think it is always about the "Who" -- Who is God?
