"It is said of God that
no one can behold His face and live.
I always thought this meant that
no one could see His spendor and live.
A friend said perhaps it means that
no one could see His sorrow and live.
Or perhaps His sorrow is His splendor."
~ Nicholas Wolterstorff

... but rejoice to the extent
that you partake of Christ's sufferings,
that when His glory is revealed,
you may also be glad with exceeding joy.
~ 1 Peter 4:13 (NKJV)
That saying stopped me in my tracks!
