IT WILL NOT ALWAYS BE SO. ...Beautiful, Elizabeth. IT WILL NOT ALWAYS BE SO. That's the narrative - you've nailed it.<br /><br />As someone with cancer, I also try to remember a couple of things about suffering:<br /><br />1. No one gets through life without suffering. It is one of the few things that binds all people everywhere together. <br />2. Even those who appear to have lives without suffering - still have it. Everyone suffers. Not equally or all the time. Some people's suffering is "in the mail" and hasn't arrived yet.<br />3. Even genuine faith doesn't stop or prevent suffering. To Christ's request, "Take this cup from me." the answer was "No. You have to drink it."<br /><br />I don't know what all this means, but I think it ties to your meta narrative, "IT WILL NOT ALWAYS BE SO"Christianity 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/04698234854603464974noreply@blogger.com
