Hey! I just saw this! :)Thanks, I really appreciate it! I like your analysis of the poem...pretty much what I was trying to say I guess.

Thank you for sharing the poem in the first place. It gave voice to my own discouragement & hurt as I have endured a very rocky faith walk all these years. It also reminded me that God loves even the outcasts.

I needed the reminder, and I am all the more grateful that God has seen fit to have our paths cross in this time in both our lives.

Oh wow, this one stuck out.

Especially this part: these must burn away before you’ll apprehend

precisely these, the several who rouse your passions.

I can't find it right now, but there's definitely two verses that state pretty much the exact same thing.
