Kingdom breaking through #3: God's promises

In the early a.m. hours Friday, as Nathan and I were settling into a room in the hospital after surgery #1, Nathan asked, "Why me?  Why did this have to happen to me?"

I told him that we often ask this question  in the struggle and suffering of life, but we don't often get clear answers from God to that one.  I told Nathan that I asked this question a lot when we lost our first baby 15 years ago.  And though God may not answer that clearly nor does the Bible promise a trouble-free life (it promises us precisely the opposite), God DOES promise often in His Word that He loves us, is with us, and will not leave us.

He is enough and there is great comfort in His promises and presence.
