When the pain comes ( and it will), it's a chance to see with new eyes. It is an opportunity to be shocked awake by our grief. Don't let the agony go to waste. God is using it: He really is. The searing burden so foreign to our flesh, is directing you towards His position, where is found the truth of our poverty and the power of humility. Pride has no place in His presence. There is no holiness but His. So this call you are receiving is naught but unmitigated mercy to the undeserving.
He is expecting you. Your own expectations of some form of judgement will be overturned by your joy, when you comprehend His unreserved acceptance, and His rejoicing in your change of heart. Here is HIS joy, your acceptance of your deliverance, by His hand, through HIS works, and in His power!
He is searching out His sons. He calls, purifies in His own blood, and transforms, those He would have stand with Him. He has stirred up their souls and hearts with His own courage. Each of you is a piece of His own heart, entrusted with the family treasure of His good news, and His expectation of your overcoming of the world with, and in, His name! After you have entered Mercy's Gate, who's name is Jesus, live for the giving of the same mercy to your brethren!
