“For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with deep compassion I will bring you back
Isaiah 54:7
Consider the test that Job endured. Though God removed Himself for a brief moment, he emerged as the apple of God’s eye, one who was truly the beloved of God. For our love for God is really seen during the rough times we go through. After we come out of a trial victorious, God showers His deep compassion on us.
