I used to think that life was fair and that good things happen to good people and bad things were reserved for “bad” people. Then…life happens. Suffering happens. It doesn’t take long to realize that we are all broken people bumping into other broken people in a very broken world. And there’s evil and a real enemy as well. So, what do you do when the “bad” collides with your life? God has a promise for you.
“The God of all grace, after you have suffered a little while,
will himself restore you and make you strong…”
1 Peter 5:10
Suffering is a part of life that none of us invite. A very painful part. But grace is a part of God. And He promises to invade your suffering with grace. And comfort. And to restore.
Your situation may or may not change. It may continue to feel wrong and painful. But God promises to walk through it with you. And He is faithful to give you the grace you need and to make you steadfast and strong. -Sandi
