It would be nice if we could all live in that happy place all the time but the truth is that Jesus suffered, and in dying to ourselves and taking up the cross of Christ there is suffering. The good news is that God's mercy is never ending and He is always perfecting our faith and strengthening our realtionship with Himself in those hard things that we go through. To be able to look at those tough things that we go through as good for us as Paul and Peter suggested is one of the hardest acts of faith to master and it took me about 10 years after my son died to be able to say that God really was in control and it really was the best thing that ever happened to me. God breaks our heart so we can be weaker, less independant from Him and so our hearts can hold more love. "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18 Draw near to Him as He draws near to you. I am praying for her and for you!PinkEyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10491450665402779737noreply@blogger.com
