Hi Kweli,
Just checked in here right before leaving for the airport and I saw your post, thanks for the kind words Brother.
Is this what you are looking for?
Ecc 1:18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
Old Solomon nailed it didn't he?
Peace,
Joe

Hi Joe
I hope you have a really great time at the Conference!
You talk about living the "bitter sweet experience. "
Job was clear in his conscience but was unclear about his STATUS before God until he was given that bitter experience. Then only did he confess he was a worm and previously had not known any better.
The great prophet Isaiah also confessed that he was a man of unclean lips and had to experience the live coal taken out of the fire and touched to his lips which could not have been pleasant either.
Yes, we all have to experience our wretchedness and that is bitter and totally against what we would chose for ourselves. Hence we have to be dragged against our will and preferences to experience the magnitude of God that invariably by contrast shows up our imperfections.
The painfull separation from the masses that comes from letting go of false teachings and the need for healing from the grief brought about by shattered illusions of self righteousness is part of the process of getting cleaned up, humbled and prepared to stand in His sight. It is all His work because it is simply too bitter and painful to be chosen as a preference by the carnal mind.
