Verse of the day
Suffering is not forever.
Yes, it is hard and painful.
But let's keep holding on to the promises of the Lord
He is Faithful!
In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.
1 Peter 5:10 NLT
Have a great day.
amen, amen, amen. God is Good, even in the worse of things. He is the God who walks with us through pain and suffering. Christ is the King who shed his own blood, as sacrifice to pay our debt. He stands with us in the fire, and walks with us through the valley of death. He is not distant, and He knows our troubles.
None of that means, suffering is gonna be easy, but hopefully you can, and I can, and we all can, find encouragement in the truth that Christ knows our suffering, He knows suffering personally, and one day, maybe many days from now, He has promises to wipe away every tear.
I believe that in that day, we will look on these hard times and this dark life and be overwhelmed with the beauty of what he is working now.
He is painting beauty with ashes.
