Abiding In Him Amidst Suffering?
I have a friend who I went to Bible School with, who is going through severe suffering. So severe that he got to a place in his faith where He could no longer find the strength to "abide in Christ" like we're told to in John 15. So how do we "abide" in Christ when He is silent amidst our suffering? What does that look like in "real time"? Do we just "obey" like good little children? So where does honesty and authenticity come in? Sure we can give God the right behaviour, but is that really He is looking for? Isn't it all about the heart? If that's true, how do we see our hearts change in and through suffering?
All great questions.
To hear how my old friend has worked this through in his own journey, please have a listen to his experience...of God abiding in him when he could abide no more.
