Our highest good may come from our deepest suffering
« on: September 23, 2007, 05:25:40 PM »
The thing I greatly feared has come upon me. —Job 3:25

Death, divorce, and disease could be called the three Ds of misery. They slice through life like a tsunami of sorrow, raising doubts and destroying dreams.

Recently, a friend and I agreed that the previous year was one that we both would just as soon forget. Each of us had suffered one of the three.

Our conversation brought Job to mind. In a short period of time, he lost his children, his health, his wealth, and his wife’s respect. Job’s distress was so great that he pleaded, “May the day perish on which I was born” (Job 3:3). Job wanted God to erase not just a year, but all memory of his existence! He had enjoyed years of success and respect. Now, he questioned the purpose of living (3:20).

Job wanted to die and be forgotten, but instead God made sure his name and story would be remembered forever. Rather than give Job what he asked for, God gave future generations what they would need—an inside look at the spiritual battle between God and Satan. The result is a God-inspired document about suffering that has comforted countless people.

When what we fear actually happens, we know, thanks to Job, that God can use it for good. —Julie Ackerman Link

Thanks for this, Mr Admin...

I needed to be reminded that our sufferings give us a chance to redeem ourselves...

and that suffering is grace in disguise...

A blessed Sunday to you...

With a heart so many hurtful words were spoken. A woman who has been crushed and badly wounded.
Has been restored, renewed and mended.
