” A few are chosen to be the bearers of the purpose; they are chosen, not for themselves, but the sake of all.”
“God is indeed active in history. But his action is hidden within what seems to be its opposite—suffering and tribulation for his people. The secret has been entrusted to those whom God chose. They are to be witnesses of it to all the nations.”
Leslie Newbigin, The Open Secret
We love these two quotes on suffering….......We have been talking a lot about what it means to suffer well….and why we suffer…(We know Deep stuff for moms with preschoolers) We have been trying to break down what God uses our trials for…...Miriam paraphrased it like this…....
“God allows some to suffer so that they may open the eyes of others to suffering.” -Miriam
We keep walking and bring attention to the other that suffer and don’t have a voice.
