“I wonder why God has done this to you” is the most troubling comment made to me since my diagnosis. I wish I had a voice to respond, because I wonder why any Christ Follower would say that God capriciously hands out suffering.
I do not know why this has happened, nor do I care. There are many things I have seen in life that I do not understand; that is what I think “walking by faith” means.
That’s why Good Friday is important to me. I will marinate my soul in the wonder that Christ “loved me and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20) and align my life more perfectly to His will. In light of His love for me, I will ponder the assurance it gives: “But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:37-39 (NASB).
