Maintaining our focus on Jesus even though the storm is raging can be a huge challenge. But the power of His words and the draw of His calm assurance gives us an anticipation that He will bring us through.
Quotes from Diane Langberg:
“God can redeem the deepest agony, the most hideous suffering, the pain beyond words, into something that gives life and brings glory to Him. But make no mistake, the transfiguring of agony cost Jesus Christ inestimably. Death does not transform into life easily.”
“Suffering people often need others to have faith and hope for them. Admonitions to hope or trust only often result in despair; if the sufferers were able, they would do so. It is often helpful to say, “I know you struggle to hope right now. I will hope for you.”
Stephen - lean in on Jesus, borrow the hope and love you need. You’ll be able to pay it forward.
