I’m sitting here on the incredible ocean shore of Kauai, waiting for the sun to arise.  I have no question it will; for I have learned to count on the morning…every day of my life, it has been faithful to appear.  The sun slowly obliterates the darkness and brings newness with each sunrise.

Likewise, in my long, dark night, I trust the sun will arise once again in my soul; the darkness will give way to newness of life.  I imagine it will be as my thoughts of Jud slowly turn from searing pain to joy, until one day the darkness has been overcome by the light.  It is hard to imagine right now, but I have seen that the sun is always faithful to arise.
