Here is a quote from Nancie Guthrie's book, "Hearing Jesus Speak":
"To experience and exude peace when life is crashing down around you, to have the lightness of joy when the weight of sorrow is heavy, to be grateful for what God has given you when you've lost what is most precious to you-that is God at work on the interior of your life, on display in your life. It is the light of God piercing the darkness of this world.
Certainly all this is part of God's purpose for the suffering and sorrow in your life. Can you hear Jesus speaking into your sorrow, telling you that he has a purpose for your pain, a good purpose that will infuse your loss with meaning as you show the world the difference a connectedness to Jesus makes in the lowest places of life?"
