Too Damaged to Be Encouraged

The tension of our faith lies in the space between what we know God can do and what we experience him not do. We know Jesus raised people from the dead but also allowed John the Baptist to be beheaded. We doubt God when we see him doing for everyone else what we wish he would do for us.

As believers, we must continually address this tension so that instead of being prisoners of our momentary struggles, our hearts are open to the greater story that God is writing in our lives.
