Why does life have to be that way? I don’t know, and neither do you. It’s just like that. So learn to make friends with your troubles- make them your teachers, instead your tormentors. Or imagine they’re rescuing you, pointing you in a different direction, to what’s truly meant for you.

God’s feelings for us have nothing to do with our feelings towards him.

I’ve always felt believing in God isn’t really the hard part; believing he is good and actively engaged in our lives and the world in the face of so much pain- that is the hard part.
