'Dear Child,
Perhaps I caused you to feel greatly distressed, and it upset
you. At the time it may have been hard for you, but this feeling of distress,
is like a call from me, it's my way of calling you back, of getting
you to turn around so that you can see me again. So don't regret this
pain my child, use it to drive yourself in my direction. I am here to
help you.
What a good thing this is! When you allow these distressing situations
to become stepping stones to me, you become more alive, more human, more
passionate, more responsible and you will come out of this with a pure
heart.
Turn around child, after all you have deep, deep ties with me (God)
Love, your father'
Based on 2 Corinthians 7:8-13

That's very true :) I like the idea of 'stepping stones'...makes a good picture. Of course I'm thinking about the Christchurch earthquake at the moment...some people complain, but if you will you can let it draw you closer to God. It makes you see what's important and wha't not - that bricks don't last forever but our sould will, so it's important to make sure our heart is in the right place.
