Life presents no shortage of challenges. Physical injuries, mental health issues, and emotional distress can make the best of us wonder why we even bother to get up some days. The circumstances of life leave no doubt we live in a fallen world. For those of us who profess Jesus as Lord, there is a meaning to this madness.
There’s a light at the end of the tunnel and a purpose for our pain. It borders on the cliché to say, but this world is not our home (Hebrews 13:14). We are here for only a little while, and then we will at last find rest in our final destination. If we can hold on to that truth, we will see this life is more than worth the struggle.
