“How is faith to endure, O God, when you allow all this scraping and tearing on us? You have allowed rivers of blood to flow, mountains of suffering to pile up, sobs to become humanity's song--all without lifting a finger that we could see. You have allowed bonds of love beyond number to be painfully snapped. If you have not abandoned us, explain yourself.We strain to hear. But instead of hearing an answer we catch sight of God himself scraped and torn. Through our tears we see the tears of God.” IfsSufferingSongHumanityAnswersLove IsNumbersBloodTearsMountainFlowRiversSightFingersEndureHearingAbandonedTornStrainLiftingScrapingBonds Of LoveExplain Yourself Author:Nicholas Wolterstorff

I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs.” TurnsWaterAnswersPoorLordSpringFlowRiversIsraelTongueDesertHeightValleysPoolThirstNeedyBarrenForsake Author:Isaiah
