Sorrow.

"I have seen the burden God has laid on men.

He has made everything beautiful in its time.

He has also set eternity in the hearts of men;

yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end." -Ecclesiastes 3:10-11

There's nothing more sweet and scary and lovely and grace-fulfilling than coming to God via others...completely disgusted with one's self and feeling the sweet whisper of God saying, "I forgive you and I delight in you, and I love you," rather than "You should be sorry---what's the matter with you?" Thank God for people who seriously pursue Jesus...and are bold enough to show it to me. I'll never forget this Friday night. I needed it more than anything.
