The Gospel does not promise you better life circumstances it promises you a better life.
Timothy Keller

God made you to love him supremely, but he lost you. He returned to get you back, but it took the cross to do it. He absorbed your darkness so that one day you can finally and dazzlingly become your true self and take your seat at his eternal feast.
