John Piper's words below brought me comfort & clarity during this time where my heart is wrestling with emotions... truth... anger... deep brokenness... and even a sense of bizarre understanding. We ask why... but, we know. Life on this side of heaven is hard... sometimes a daily battle that we fight just to make it through the day... My Dad loved Jesus... longed to see Him... and when his mind became so clouded by depression & sickness...somewhere along the way, he was blinded by hopelessness.
