“We are so limited that we can hardly imagine a love that does not show itself in protection from suffering. 

It never denies reality.

The love of God is of a different nature altogether. It does not hate tragedy. It never denies reality. It stands in the very teeth of suffering.

 The love of God did not protect His own Son. The cross was the proof of His love – that He gave that Son, that He let Him go to Calvary’s cross, though “legions of angels” might have rescued Him. 

He will not necessarily protect us in all circumstances, some things we need to go through.  To make us like His Son. A lot of hammering and chiseling and purifying by fire will have to go into the process.”

He will be there with us.
