God will use your sufferings to bring others to him. It’ll be worth any pain or loss.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. Why do bad things happen, especially to children? Take Shannon, for example. At the age of three, her father abandoned the home, and then a few years later, her mother was diagnosed with a rare blood disease, leaving Shannon in care of foster parents. Shannon’s mother eventually went home to be with the Lord, but this young teenager keeps holding onto Jesus. In fact, she told me she finally met her dad for the first time in ten years and was able to share her faith in God with him! 2 Corinthians 1 says, “The God of all comfort comforts us in all our troubles.” Why? So that we can help those in need. And if Shannon’s dad finally opens his heart to Christ? It will be worth all that she has lost; all that she’s been through. Oh friend, a soul is that precious, and God will use your suffering to bring others to him. And that is worth any pain or loss.
