"Vanity! Vanity! All is Vanity!" are the words given to us from Ecclesiastes to describe the state of humanity's existence, and there is a point in every person's life that come to the same conclusion. These poems speak to us about the dark and trying times. The broken heart, the confusion, the betrayal, and the guilt that we all experience in our life. The meaninglessness of it all and the questions that plague our minds. However, the author brings us back every time to the only purpose and hope we have in this life. Jesus Christ and his redemptive power! These works show an open and honest heart before God. Giving him all the brokenness and ultimately trusting in him for his sustaining grace and mercy! "But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound" (Romans 5:20).
