Death has a tendency to encourage a depressing view of war.

Summary

This quote highlights the profound impact of death in shaping one's perception of war. When witnessing the tragic loss of life, particularly during armed conflicts, it is only natural to develop a gloomy outlook towards war. Death not only represents the profound human cost and suffering associated with war but also serves as a sharp reminder of its futility and tragic consequences. Consequently, death tends to deepen the understanding of the harsh realities of war, consequently influencing one's perception to a more somber and discouraging one.

It's difficult to discern the blessing in the midst of broke

It's difficult to discern the blessing in the midst of brokenness. Certain circumstances in life hurt, at times so intensely that we think we will never heal. After brokenness, we can experience God's greatest blessings. The dawn after a very dark and storm-wracked night is glorious. Joy after a period of intense mourning can be ecstatic. Brokenness is what God uses to replace our self-life with his desires and intents for us. Its end is blessing far greater than we could ever discover apart from being broken. It's spiritual maturity and joyous intimacy with God. Greater depth and power in our ministry to others. New dimensions of freedom, strength, and peace. And a wholeness that comes as God himself reassembles us into someone more closely resembling Jesus Christ.
