Life turns every person upside down. No one escapes unscathed. Not the woman who discovers her husband is in an affair. Not the teenager who discovers a night of romance has resulted in a surprise pregnancy. Not the pastor who feels his faith shaken by questions of suffering and fear. We’d be foolish to think we’re invulnerable. But we’d be just as foolish to think evil wins the day.

The Bible vibrates with the steady drumbeat of faith: God recycles evil into righteousness. I don’t have an easy solution or a magic wand, but I have found something—or someone—far better. God himself. And when he gets in the middle of life, evil becomes good. Can I urge you? Trust God. No, really trust him. He will get you through this. Will it be easy or quick? I hope so, but it seldom is. Yet God will make good out of this mess.
