“How long must I wrestle with my
thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy
triumph over me? Look on me and answer, LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or
I will sleep in death, and my enemy will say, ‘I have overcome him,’ and my
foes will rejoice when I fall. But I trust in Your unfailing love; my heart
rejoices in Your salvation.” (Psalm 13:2-5
NIV)
Every time a believer struggles with
sorrow or loneliness or ill health or pain and chooses to trust and serve God
anyhow, a bell rings out across heaven and the angels give a great shout. Why?
Because one more pilgrim has shown again that he or she understands that Jesus
is worth it all. God is faithful.
-- Philip Yancey in “Disappointment with God”
