My heart is heavy tonight because I know of many fellow Christians- my own friends & family, those here in my community, & those who are a world away- who are in the midst of suffering. Christians who truly understand their Christianity know that a relationship with God does not mean exemption from suffering, it means you have the Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit on your side to hold you when you hurt & to help you through- maybe even fully heal- your pain, anguish, & suffering.Followers of Jesus are not strangers to the rain, but when we do trust in the Lord, we have the rainy day necessities: matching raincoat, rain boots, & umbrella.
"My comfort in my suffering is this:
Your promise preserves my life."
Psalm 119:50
