The subject of human suffering is not easy to understand, as there are mysteries in the workings of God that we will never grasp until we reach heaven. Just know that God is eternally present and will guide us through, if we believe and trust in Him. Blessings,Presiding Elder Barbara HayesBe Still & Know | TWSB

Your lovingkindness, O LORD, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. Psalms 36:5, 6.

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us." 1 John 5:18

"And His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace." John 1:16

Jesus Christ has fullness of grace and truth. Grace is God's favor and kindness bestowed on those who do not deserve it and cannot earn it. If God dealt with us only according to truth, none of us would survive, but He deals with us based on grace and truth.

I HAVE LEARNED TO BE CONTENT. The key to contentment is realizing that God has given you everything you need to remain victorious in Christ in your present circumstances (1 Cor. 15:47; 2 Cor. 2:14; 1 John 5:4). Your ability to live triumphantly above changing circumstances is Christ's power flowing in and through you.

No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. 1 John 4:12

"Consolation" refers to the sense of comfort or relief that helps someone feel better after experiencing sadness, disappointment, or distress. Life is filled with painful moments that can arise unexpectedly, but it also brings many opportunities for second chances. Do not lose hope in yourself; God has not given up on you! Blessings,
