When Things Don't Make Sense

Praying for some of our dearest friends, Kevin and Wendy, who found out today that their baby, Mason, has been diagnosed with a genetic disorder, Xlink Hydrocephelus. This is one of the godliest couples I know and it is difficult to think that life is throwing something at them that they do not deserve. I pray that God will provide them with the strength they will need for the days and years ahead. I know they will be amazing parents regardless of the circumstances and will love their little boy unconditionally. I'm praying that little Mason's life will be as close to "normal" as possible and the trials in his life will be mininum.

Their situation is another reminder that some things in life just don't make sense. The Bible reminds us that suffering is a part of life in a sinful world. In the book of Romans, Paul tells us that " ...the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us" Rom. 8:18. Out of suffering comes holiness and a chance for us to become "instruments of His peace".

In His love....
