Oh, to be redeemed by that pure embrace, where neither release nor abandon submit to fear's whisperings. Blessed and rare is that person who can altogether tender such balm, and in the offering, likewise abide.

Skinhorse Truth: Lengthy Trials
Sometimes, our lengthy trial is made lengthy for a particular purpose. It may be that we are not prepared to receive the blessing we would design for ourselves. It may be that we are to experience apparent separation or other "enmity" between God and ourselves, that we might better understand and help another who truly is separated from God. Or, it may be that we are to go where the Lord has gone, touching but the edges of his imprint, that we might embrace him in fullness when, alas, we arrive where he is.

and a second mortgage on humility.
