In order to become the person God intends us to become, we need regularly to acknowledge our dependence upon Him and to reaffirm our trust in Him. It seems, however, that the majority of us have to be knocked down before it actually happens. A woman who had recently lost her husband, has written of such an experience. She says: A sudden loss...a loved one, so dear to me... my body rejects the news with violent motions. Family and neighbors begin to arrive. Arrangements have to be made. Then, the lesson from God: As I stand beside my loved one, I look up to see faces that I know. But I see with new eyes. I see their pain. I see their lives, etched in their faces. I feel compassion for their grief and their heartache. It's as if God has opened my spiritual eyes and I see familiar faces for the first time — as they really are. God has allowed me a momentary understanding that I have never known before. They came to give me comfort. But God used them to give me so much more.
