Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pain. It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
CS Lewis
I read this quote sometime back and, as usual, filed it away for future reference. Today I saw it again and was struck by the timeliness of seeing it in light of recent events. I say I was "struck by" but that does not mean I was surprised. God speaks...in any way that we will allow. Everyone knows of the tragedy of Haiti...and while those of us who are not actually there cannot fathom the destruction and desperation, we cannot ignore it.
He will not tolerate our deafness any longer...
