“We must remember this perspective in our times of
desolation, grief, and loss. How things
appear to us, and how they actually are, are rarely the same. Sometimes it
looks and feels like the Almighty is dealing “very bitterly” with us, when all
the while he is doing us and many others more good than we can imagine. God’s
purposes in the lives of his children are always gracious. Always. If they
don’t look like it, don’t trust your perceptions. Trust God’s promises. He is
always fulfilling his promises.”[1]
