[Dr. Eckleburg]

After all, children learn by seeing, hearing, experiencing, doing. How would they know health without sickness, courage without fear, light without darkness, good without evil, etc.? And some kids, like Adam, have to touch the stove to know it is hot.

How glorious, how illuminating, how intimate we are in Him - when God does a good thing through us! Truly, I cannot imagine a better way to get to know Him, to love Him more, to trust Him more, to grow up in the family, in the body of Christ.

Conversely, I can see nothing glorious or illuminating in anything I do apart from Him. It is all loss. All filthy rags.

AMEN!

Orthodox Presbyterian has a great saying on his homepage...

"God created the Earth to train the Faithful."

Exactly so. 8~)
