beauty all the way around...and such sadness

and totally captivating...

and as Chet Atkins performed it...you find out where it all began

I suppose this would make an argument for there being purpose and beauty for a heart breaking.




For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There's no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow that lacks repentance, results in spiritual death. 2 Corinthians 7:10

Many think the word repent means "to get your act together" or to "get religion" or "fly straight"; as if we could. Repentance requires taking in a whole new point of view; looking at it God's way. God simply asks us to turn. This is the way we accept His gift. When we do, certain outcomes are promised. If we don't, or we "turn back", alternate outcomes are promised.
