Suffering is inevitable. Jesus said, "In this world you will have trouble." But he also said, "Rejoice, I have overcome the world" (John 16:33). This is our hope in the face of the inevitable troubles we must all face. Thank God for those who do not give the false-hope of a troubleless life, and for those who are willing to stand with us in the face of those inevitable troubles. They may be inevitable. But they are not final.
