When God wrote the script from before all time, he had a goal in mind for it all: To create for himself a people that look like his Son. So take courage. Strengthen your hearts. May no complaining be found on your lips. For he will do something about injustice and suffering. He has done something about injustice and suffering. And he is closer than you think.
