Did you happen to see the sky today? The light passing through the dark clouds? The light shining down onto this dark world we live in. This dark world of sin, pain, suffering, greed and hatred. Sometimes it's hard to understand why God has allowed us to suffer or why things happen. I read a great book called "Suffering and the Sovereignty of God" by John Piper. The book describes the ultimate suffering of Jesus and how he bore the sins of the world.
"Suffering is the primary means of building compassion into the lives of God's servants, maximizing our pain in suffering results in showing love to others and honoring God. " (Excerpts from book)
Sometimes we do not understand why things happen and may be in dark places but I know and am confident that God has a plan and is in control. Everything happens for a reason!
