Her dress and hair style spelt comfort and affluence but her conversation this late afternoon was about her regrets. A good job had proved to be an inadequate substitute for her deeper longing. She spoke of her frustration at being repeatedly asked when she would be getting married and announced her decision to avoid weddings where they appeared to specialize in asking that particular question.

?Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.? ? Psalm 69:20 (KJV)

It is not over yet.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
