These are some quotes from Joseph Hall in his book Contemplations. This was his contemplation of Abraham offering Isaac; which that whole passage has been an encouragement to me during this trial with baby Allison.
"The only way to find comfort in an earthly thing, is to surrender it (in a faithful carelessness) into the hands of God."
"Whatsoever is dearest to us upon earth, is our Isaac: happy are we, if we can sacrifice it to God. Those shall never rest with Abraham, that cannot sacrifice with Abraham."
God has been faithful, with every child, to remind us of the need to offer them up to Him. No matter what their calling in life and how short or long their lives are lived, all that matters is that Christ, and Christ alone, be glorified in them!
