| Posted 7/21/2004 5:18 PM (GMT -6) | | My sister-in-law and I were talking on the phone yesterday about this. We can't know for sure what suffering God will use, or in what way. Our suffering might unburden someone else. Their suffering might be an opportunity for us to grow in compassion, or the community to come together and build its unity. But what we DO know is this: that GOD's aim is our salvation. As the Heidelberg Catechism says: "Not a hair shall fall from my head but that it be for the work towards my/our salvation."
Let's not second-guess God. But let us join with one another in prayers, and thanksgiving, and in bearing one another's burdens. Even sorrows and suffering.
In all things giving thanks to God our Creator and Redeemer, and Sustainer.
Amen!
