When we are going through hard or challenging situations, it is easy to question why God would allow such hard things to happen. Or when we're still struggling with the same issues years later, we question why God isn't helping us more. We question if He really is a good God. We feel shattered and broken and beyond repair. We want our lives to be easy and perfect, but unfortunately, that's not the case. Jesus told us we would have trouble, but He also said He would be our peace in our trouble John 16:33. Our Bible heroes all experienced their share of trials and tribulations. Heaven is our home, where things will be perfect, but while we are here on earth, we will see and experience brokenness all around us. But the good news is that the brokenness has a purpose. It drives us closer to God. It gives us stories to share with others to encourage them in their own brokenness. It gives us a new purpose and motivation. And best of all, God does not abandon us in our brokenness.
