“‘He himself bore our sins’ in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; ‘by his wounds you have been healed.’” — 1 Peter 2:24, NIV
There is good news. Jesus Christ is our hope, and He gave his life to mend the relationship with God that we carelessly broke. He sees us at our worst, in our brokenness and suffering and still chose to take that upon himself. What once was broken, he put back together and made beautiful.
Although our pain may not go away, our hopelessness and helplessness are replaced with hope and purpose. In times of struggle, as Christians, we can have confidence that God has a plan for us and wants what is best for us.
Perhaps, He is using our circumstances to change our hearts. Maybe, He is using us to help and be there for others. We do not have to have the answers to all our questions in the moment and it is okay to feel the hardships of the world. However, God is making something beautiful with us and giving us victory and purpose.
“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” — Ecclesiastes 3:11, NIV
