All who are led by God’s Spirit are God’s sons and daughters. 15 You didn’t receive a spirit of slavery to lead you back again into fear, but you received a Spirit that shows you are adopted as his children. With this Spirit, we cry, “ Abba, Father. ” 16 The same Spirit agrees with our spirit, that we are God’s children. 17 But if we are children, we are also heirs. We are God’s heirs and fellow heirs with Christ, if we really suffer with him so that we can also be glorified with him.
The question of suffering has long confounded humanity. But when suffering -- concretely, specifically -- enters a person's life, it becomes more than a question to engage the mind. It is, instead, an experience that confronts and overwhelms one emotionally, physically, and spiritually. There are no easy check lists for coping with suffering; there's no quick solution for ending your turmoil and confusion and pain.
Making-sense-out-of-suffering Therapy won't promise you any of that. But it will walk with you as you struggle with this difficult and inevitable reality. Thoughtfully illustrated, it will offer insights, wisdom and inspiration that can move you to a deeper understanding.
