Wonderful post livingwaters! Such a tough issue for us all and something that is really beyond our human capacity because, let's face it, some people do some truly rotten things. It is His Love filling us up and supplying all of our needs and knowing, as it says in the Lords' Prayer, that we have the right to call on our Father to give us the Kingdom of Heaven right now on Earth. From that perspective, no one can take anything from us. Yet what trust in the Lord and patience that requires!
I've relied on this verse many, many times. It's helped me through a lot;
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28**
Amen, eyeofthestorm, It definitely requires patience.
Romans 8:28 is one of my favorite verses too.
Have a wonderful day.
