Thoughts of a lonely day

These have been long and difficult days for me.  Days marked by loss.  Loss of a job, health insurance, electricity, my belongings, the loss of dear friends who moved away, my singing voice, and now, possibly my house.  The one thing I know is sealed and secure is God as my father and friend, and this, out of the faithfulness of His heart, and not my own.  A heart marked by more loss than gain is a whole dug into the earth, growing bigger and  deeper as more is taken away.  A heart marked by loss is, I have begun to understand, a heart able to connect with God, for He has always been on the loosing end of His relationship with us.  And so, God too experiences great loss.
