To deep for words

So what exactly is the point of all of this anyway?
Why were we created with desires and longings that are perpetually just out of reach?
It's like climbing a wall and seeing the next hold only an inch out of your longest stretch. If you jump for it, it may not be a good hold. If you fall, all the hard work you've done up to this point is naught and you start over again. But if you catch it and pull yourself up, straining the whole way and praying your grip doesn't fail, oh the glory of that moment! The passion of the struggle and the fear of failure is worth knowing that out the most difficult trials victory was born and you are triumphant against your adversaries.
Or maybe the passion of the struggle is the point. Maybe the effort to reach the next hold is just as important as the hold itself. Or maybe you just whack your hand on the way up and wonder, "What is the point of all of this?"

Grace,

Dan

Or maybe the struggle was there for you to finally realize that GOD is the strong hold holding you up! And if you just let him grab your hand and pull you up the struggle will lessen.
Anyway... Lesson learned, too bad it took several months to figure it out.
Miss you my friend! I hope to talk to you soon.
