It’s unavoidable, but sometimes hard to accept –– the reality that suffering is not
optional. And the thing about suffering is so often it feels pointless...We find ourselves
asking, “Why is this happening? And where is God?” But no matter how it may appear
to us at the moment, nothing is wasted with God. And even in the experiences that bring
us the most pain, he is at work, imagining outcomes we never could, for his glory and
our good.
