Beautiful, thank you! 26 years ago was the worst time in my life with the death of a relationship, never to be resurrected! At first something died within me, and I begged God constantly to take it away. Finally I heard His voice within me say, "I will not take it away, but I will be with you in it it". The Lord let me feel the full force of pain, took my hand and walked with me through it all, shared my pain. As I write this 26 years later, tears are in my eyes not for the loss but for the gain, because it was this time in my life that showed me how loved I am by my Lord!
Wow, thank you so much for sharing this. It often takes time to understand why things might have happened the way they did, and what God’s will was in everything. Trusting in Him is definitely the way to go! God bless you :)

Trusting is hard, but you are right. Its definitely the way to go! The only way!
I read the reading and completely missed Jesus' sorrow at the beginning. Thank you.
