Teach.

“… Let us not live uncertain of what we are,
  of where we are going.

Bear witness with our spirit that we are thy children;
And enable each one to say, ‘I know my Redeemer.’
Bless us with a growing sense of this salvation.
If already enlightened in Christ, may we see
    greater things;

If quickened, may we have more abundant life;
If renewed, let us go on from strength to strength.
Give us closer abiding in Jesus
  that we may bring forth more fruit,
    have a deeper sense of our obligations to him,
  that we may surrender all,
    have a fuller joy,
  that we may serve him more completely.
And may our faith work by love
  towards him who died,
  towards our fellow-believers,
  towards our fellow-men.”
— Valley of Vision, The Teacher

Sometimes you put something sharp in your bag, meaning to take it out later. And you forget it was there.
And time passes, and you go and reach for something else, and it cuts again.

Six years. A joy like a young boy, proudly beaming over his favorite gift and accomplishment.
And there was my answer.

The continuous need for grace and forgiveness toward our fellow man.
When it is hard, it helps to remember God’s sovereign hand over all that has passed, that ‘…but God meant it for good‘ (Genesis 50:20).
My Heavenly Father still teaches me today.
