The weight of heartache can crush us or become a point of connection with a weary world in desperate need of hope — now more than ever. Not all who suffer will find healing in this life. That is the bruising reality of our fallen world.

Feeling out of control feels dangerous. As Christians, it forces us to decide whether we believe God is sovereign over the affairs of humanity, and if He is good no matter our suffering.

The world is watching. They want to see if Jesus really makes a difference in how a person suffers what is unbearable and loses what is valuable.

If there’s anything this strange time has taught us, it’s that we need one another.
