It scares people to no end to see people suffer and they have to justify in their minds why these things happen. <br /><br />It is easier for me to leave the faith than to face my own bankruptness. Our culture enables us to do this as well. We have so much confusion entrenched in our theology of who God is. <br /><br />So continue to write and hold onto honesty. love youdidentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07253069231525063540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849328189586282955.post-70663661394262027382010-08-01T15:38:57.071-07:002010-08-01T15:38:57.071-07:00This is the truth.

I never really know what to say when others are going through prolonged seasons of pain. May God fulfill his promise that he would never leave you nor forsake you and may His joy give you strength because the word says that the joy of the Lord is our strength.Jennifer C.
