Suffering is traumatic and awful and we get angry and we shake our fists at the heavens and we vent and rage and weep. But in the process we discover a new tomorrow, one we never would have imagined otherwise.

Your job is the relentless pursuit of who God made you to be. And anything else you do is sin and you need to repent of it.

God has spoken, and everything else is commentary.
