Thank you so much for this article. It was so encouraging to me. I am a person who struggles deeply with hurt and suffering. In fact that was what led me to this article in the first place. It was so reassuring of God's love to just read this. Often I call people looking for answers to my hurt or relief from it some magic answer that will just take all of my pain away but I don't get that. Really what I am searching for is not someone who will provide all the magic answers just someone who is willing to listen and understand or at least try and SPEAK truth to me because in those momments of deep hurt and suffering I am definitely not speaking it to myself the way I should be.
