There Are Things We Cannot Understand

Suffering should not be interpreted as having been abandoned by God. A child who had undergone open-heart surgery was given a painful procedure and screamed. The father knew the procedure was necessary for his child's health, and he suffered along with the child. Like a child, we may not be able to understand how the adversities we experience could be to our ultimate benefit. While we cannot change many things, and must turn to a Higher Power, we should have the security that comes with knowing that the Higher Power does not abandon us. When we suffer, He suffers with us.
