Although we live in a dark world with disease, distress, distractions, and discouragement, God’s presence transforms each moment of each day, giving you the strength to persevere in love and faith. What does God’s abiding presence mean in moments of pain? Does he sympathize with us? Where is true rest in a world of stress and suffering? These are good questions, and our redemption in Christ speaks to every one of them. The Lord is sustaining and preparing you for a glorious eternal home with him where the full experience of redemption is still to come.
