SIN CAUSES GOD PAIN
There is a book I read a few years ago, "Theology of the Pain of God" by Kazoh Kitamori, which added to my view about how I see my relationship with God. It is a deep theological book which looks at our relationship with God from the perspective of pain... and not our pain,

Send them engulfing like waves of the sea;
Sweep through our lowlands and work mightily.
Send the outpourings of God’s Holy rain
Send mighty cloud-bursts again and again
Strike holy lightning at home and

By Thee from guilt and wrath redeem’d,
Before the Father’s face I stand.

Or who fulfill it but a God?
No drop remains of all

with the eternal reach of time,
Give me amid the confusion of the day
the calmness of the everlasting hills,
Break the
