"It is good that I have been afflicted, That I may learn your statutes" Psalm 119:71 Oswald chamber's "My utmost for the highest" is my favourite devotional. I am going three years straight with it. The reading on Valentine's day came in at an oppurtune moment, just after I recieved some very bad news. It meant all my planning for the past few months had come to nothing. It was like being thrust to darkness again. http://www.heartlight.org/cgi-shl/my_utmost/utm.cgi?0214 But like pain (read "the gift of pain" PaulBrand , Philip Yancey), even darkness has its purposes.
