My desire is for you and me, together, to claim grace and cultivate grit in the midst of our suffering—like Job, like Saul. And in the process to wean ourselves from the rabid pursuit of happiness so prevalent in our culture. Happiness is a byproduct of contentment. Once Saul discovered that, he lived it. I’m not fully there yet. Most likely, neither are you. And so, we press on together, growing and learning, reminding ourselves that He must increase, we must decrease. Remember, it’s all about Him, not us.
