Today someone told me I have "kind eyes." It was one of the best compliments I have received. Also, today I obtained $20 of credit at a beauty supply store and a one-year subscription to Dwell magazine for free, courtesy of Groupon. These were much needed pick-me-ups.
Last night I read in Isaiah 53:
"Who believes what we've heard and seen? Who would have thought God's saving power would look like this?"
and
"Still, it's what God had in mind all along, to crush him with pain. The plan was that he give himself as an offering for sin so that he'd see life come from it -- life, life, and more life. And God's plan will deeply prosper from him. Out of that terrible travail of soul, he'll see that it's worth it and be glad he did it. Through what he experienced, my righteous one, my servant, will make many "righteous ones," as he himself carries the burden of their sins."
I like that version, especially the line "Who would have thought God's saving power would look like this?" I get that.
