Wow, another reason to be grateful to Him!
Yet it seems I know well that silent ripping of one’s heart in half as it struggles to both stay and come. Therefore, there is an excellent reason Lot and his family were told not to look back (yet, nevertheless, all the righteous were spared).
So let’s welcome –with robes and rings and celebrations- our prodigal child home, and in that way praise Him for the ones who have persevered to love Him above all created things.
Thanks for sharing, Professor Bergsma.
