If it’s not for being able to go before God’s throne, I can say it would be beyond overwhelming and despairing.

Suffering is more than we can bear on our own. We need God’s help, support, grace, mercy, compassion, care and most of all love even more so.

When life is good, I hope for it, I long for it, when life is bad, I pray to see it even the more so.

Feeding homeless, children and families. Earthquakes, tornadoes, floods and fires. It can bring together communities in those areas and across the globe.

I have experienced it many times; I can confess because God was (and is always) in it, more good came from that then what I could have ever Known. I’m glad (I rejoice) because God loves/loved and continues to love me through those times.
