"Life Is Fragile … Handle with Care"
A morning thought …
The
problem of pain will have no ultimate solution until God recreates the earth. I
am sustained by faith in that great hope.
Where
is God when it hurts?
He
has been there from the beginning, designing a pain system that, even in the
midst of a fallen world, still bears the stamp of His genius and equips us for
life on this planet.
He
lets us cry out, like Job, in loud fits of anger against Him, blaming Him for a
world we spoiled.
He
promises supernatural help to nourish the spirit, even if our physical
suffering goes unrelieved.
He
has joined us. He has hurt and bled and cried and suffered.
He
is with us now, ministering to us through His Spirit and through members of His
body.
