God is so merciful. He’s not going to let the suffering continue. You may go through seasons of weeping, seasons of sorrow, seasons where it’s not fair, you don’t understand it. But it’s only a season. It’s not permanent. It’s not going to last a lifetime. “Joel, I don’t see how my situation could ever work out. What I’ve been through, what I’m up against now, how could I ever be happy?” You’re looking at it in the natural; God is supernatural. He’s not going to leave you in a broken place, a wounded place, a defeated place, a lonely place. He wouldn’t have allowed that suffering if He wasn’t going to bring you out better. The suffering is a setup for God to show out in your life. He turns mourning into dancing, sorrow into joy. The greater the adversity, the greater the joy. The greater the suffering, the greater the blessing.
