God’s ways and thoughts are higher than ours!

Faithful spouses, God cries with you, too!
“God Weeps Too” by Eli–an obscure Christian artist from the 90s–is one of my favorite songs.

The Extravagance of God
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think…. -Ephesians 3:20a, KJV God is God. This means we are not.
