Not What You Expect

So, this past year I've been trying to memorize Psalm 119. It's been very difficult, but fruitful. This past week I've been memorizing the verses "Before I was afflicted, I went astray, but now I keep your law," vs. 67 and "It was good for me that I was afflicted that I might learn your commandments" vs. 71. I am constantly amazed by the blessing of affliction for the godly, and so I commend to you brothers this hymn, by a hard man, John Newton

Thank you, Boyd, for the reminder of our Father's strong intention to conform us into the image of His eldest Son. Even unto death.
