There’s only one reason we persevere through the trials, troubles and tragedies of life in this broken world: grace. We are given the strength, encouragement and provision we need to keep going when the going gets tough. God is always graciously working in us, working behind the scenes for us, and working all things out for the good of us. Call on Him. Count on Him. Collapse on Him. When He does not give you grace to escape problems, He will give you grace to endure them. You will make it. This is our hope in Jesus… When the time is right, God will bring our hurting to an end and give us happiness without end.
