God didn't promise that once you put your faith in Jesus all your problems will disappear. Pastor Bill explains in today's teaching that instead of taking away all of your suffering, God meets you IN it. There are many examples throughout the Bible of people who suffered greatly while being used by God. There is no better example than Jesus, God in the flesh! God is no stranger to suffering. As you encounter hard times, remember that God is with you. He understands. His promise to you is His presence.
