"A Tale Of Three Kings." I must read it again!
"David was caught in a very uncomfortable position; however, within his circumstance he seemed to grasp a deep understanding of the unfolding drama in which he had been caught. He seemed to understand something that few of even the wisest men of his day understood. Something which even in our day, when men are wiser still, fewer understand. And what was that? God did not have, but wanted very much to have, men who would live in pain. God wanted a broken vessel." except from: A Tale Of Three Kings, chapter 3.
