Your life is going to have some heartbreak in it. There’s no way around it. Some things are going to happen that cause you unimaginable pain, and even the most upbeat person will sometimes feel the kind of hopelessness and desperation that makes them ask, “What’s the point of it all?” You’re going to lose people close to you. A dear friend will turn their back on you after all these years. You’ll face money troubles, health troubles and family struggles you would never have dreamed were possible. There is no way that a person can live a life in this world and be shielded from the kind of pain and suffering that threatens to hobble even the strongest faith. Maybe the worst part about this truth is the fact that there’s no way to prepare for it, because you don’t know what or when or had bad it will be when it comes. There is good news though: Jesus knows. He knows because He knows everything. He knows what’s coming and when. He knows how bad it will be and He also knows why it’s happening. When Jesus died, some of His best friends were deeply depressed and talking about it. The resurrected Jesus appeared and talked with them. They didn’t know it was Him. He told them that everything that happened to Him was part of a beautiful plan and had to happen. When they realized it was Jesus, they said, “Weren’t our hearts burning within us when He talked to us?” Jesus knows your pain. He’s using it to make you something truly amazing. One day, He will personally explain it to you - and your heart will be burning with joy and amazement at what God did.
