Trina here, I am slowly reading through Suffering is Never for Nothing by Elizabeth Elliot. It’s not an easy read, it’s not light Summer reading. Nobody wants to hear that the way to a deeper walk Jesus is often a path marked with pain, nobody wants that, many of us might say ‘I am ok thanks.’. But there is a truth to these words that runs deep. There is still a richness and sweetness in the darkness of that path. What I admire so far is Elliot is not out to give trite answers. No, she says if you look at the world and the pain so many live through and experience it’s really very difficult, on account of all that to believe in a God out there who is loving and good, I would say it’s almost impossible. The only way we can keep believing in God being who He says He is, is by faith and on account of His Word the Bible. So here is to plodding along when the answers are not there. To looking for God and the glimpses of Him in the deepest waters and hottest fires. He can be found there, more than that, He wants to be found by us there.
