One of my most dear friends lost her unborn child today. My heart aches for her and her husband, for their raw and broken hearts. I'm reminded again of our profound need for a Savior who will bring redemption. I'm reminded that the earth is not yet whole while there is suffering. And yet there is hope...in the midst of this painful, broken world there is hope. If nothing else, we hope in the unceasing steadfast love of the Lord.
'No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man can ever pluck me from His hand' says the hymn.
He holds us, tenderly caring for us when all around crumbles. I don't understand how or why there is such brokenness in our lives here. Why death and divorce happen. But I do understand that the Prince of Peace is coming to heal it all, to set it right. As we live and breathe he is redeeming us. Take heart, do not lose hope - He has overcome sin and death and will make all things new. Let us bury our faces in the dust, there may yet be hope.
