It has been ten years since I last read this book. There are details that have faded over time. Some I'm not sure I saw in the previous readings.

The main takeaway for me is the question of whether I still love and follow God or am I devoted to a way of life that bears His name only? Secondly, when following God becomes unpopular, especially with those who are devoted to the lifestyle, do I hold on to Him or follow the crowd? How much pain and discomfort will this world put me through to get me to accept the lie?

I want to stay true. And even when I miss the mark, I want to be able to see the truth and recognize it, embracing God as my king. The God who designed this whole universe yet knows me intimately.
