Just received some devastating news….why, Jesus, why? Why is there pain so excruciating, so ugly, so black, so hideous, so lonely that it is completely incompatible with life? Why does it sometimes feel bigger than your love? Why does dark have to win sometimes? Help us to trust when we so cannot see. When we so cannot understand. Please help us….PLEASE!!!!!!
Jana,
I’m sorry to hear of you sorrows.
Please remember Job.
Some people are more righteous, and the bar of their test is raised. In the end all he lost, was restored 10 fold. Not to mention his reward awaiting in Heaven.
Now a days, Satan easily has many in his grasp. He needs not temp them much. They skate by as things are seemingly handed to them.
Those most devoted are sometimes tested with what seems like insurmountable trials.
Little problems wouldn’t be much of a trail for someone as faithful as you.
It’s kind of a double edge sword. Where much is given, much is expected.
Your faith is like a muscle. The more it’s used, the more it grows.
You’ve been through so much. Your Heavenly father must have something wonderful in store for you. Your a super woman when it comes to your faith.
Keep up the faith. Remember, that which doesn’t kill me, only makes me stronger.
I know it’s hard sometimes to understand the big picture, but we both know there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Count your many blessings. This day to will pass.
Love,
Jeff
Thank you, Jeff. But I am definitely not a superwoman in any sense of the word. I just love an amazing God who loves me more than I can even fathom. My pain, in this instance, is not for myself but for someone I love, as I see the unforeseen tragedy and pain she is now facing. But she is held and protected in the palm of her precious Father’s hand and will come through not only surviving, but thriving in the new depths of her faith. Thanks for your kind words and for taking the time and effort to pass them on to me. Means so very very much…
