Hope in Suffering

Reality Does Not Operate According to Our Preferences

From my friend, Anne’s, FaceBook update:

‎”We desire a world that we can control, where suffering is a problem to be solved and everyone gets what he or she deserves: this is the gravitational pull of Original Sin. Like Job’s friends, we prefer the safety of “if-then” conditionality. Suffering, however, often serves as an unwanted reminder that reality does not operate according to our preferences.” Tullian Tchividjian in Comments Off on Reality Does Not Operate According to Our Preferences
