like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something
the saint cannot see, and He stretches and strains, and every now and again
the saint says – 'I cannot stand any more.' God does not heed,
He goes on stretching till His purpose is in sight,
then He lets fly. Trust yourself in God’s hands."
~ Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest (classic), May 8
