Leaning on the Promise

As Christians we are not exempt from hurt or grief or suffering.  We spend a lot of time searching for meaning, reasons or excuses when the realities of the world overwhelm us.  Lamenting reality does not mean your faith is weak; rather it is strong.  Hold tight to the hope we have through our Savior, Christ Jesus.  “For Thou are the God in whom I take refuge.” (Psalm 43:2)
