Finger of God

Prodigal: How should we fix it?

Me: I read this and wanted to share. We use duct tape to fix everything. God used nails.

This is from Sir T. Browne

And to be true, and speak my soul, when I survey the occurrences of my life, and call into account the finger of God, I can perceive nothing but an abyss and mass of mercies, either in general to mankind, or in particular to myself; and whether our of the prejudice of my affection, or an inverting and partial conceit of His mercies, I know not; but those which others term crosses, afflictions, judgements, misfortunes, to me who inquire farther into them than their visible effects, they both appear, and in event have ever proved, the secret and dissembled favors of His affection.

Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book! Job 19:23 (KJV)
