Pain Opens the Door

It's an odd thing that the more sorrowful and sad I feel, the closer I am to Him- the more willing I am to finally put my life under His control. In bliss, when times are good, the Lord becomes an after thought- on the back burner. When my sturdy little house of cards finally collapses, however, it is Him I turn to. How much better it would be that I would always choose Him first, not wait until there's nothing left.
