Godly sorrow leads to repentance. I think of Elie Wiesel as a modern day Job. Certainly he does not line up to every criterion. But here he is return to his own court scene with Yahweh. And I do not see God putting any blame on Wiesel. I see him being brought into a fuller conversation with the Lord. He knows two things: God is real, and Auschwitz happened. That's it. It isn't about an answer anymore. You can't explain it with or without God. Elie Wiesel has found God. In about as close to his fullness as this creation can perceive. I hate Elie, I envy Elie, yet I will never wish to be Elie. Bravi to the Elie's and Job's of the world. The have known righteousness. They have truly conversed with the Divine.
p.s. I commented on Hannah's post.
