During the most painful moments in our life, we often ask God if he is even there. However, even in the darkness, God is present and at work.
Sure, all things work out for the good, but that doesn’t make it any easier to go through. Even Jesus who knows the future, and knows the joy that lay ahead, became distressed at what came before the joy.
Being dismissed is hardest when it’s by those who know you best. However, Jesus empathizes with your pain and promises security in his presence.
