Whatever you are facing, there is always hope when you belong to Christ. There will be a time for your trial to end. And if you have held out in faith till the end, you will be rewarded in this life and the next. Why does God allow us to go through heartache and pain? It is only in the crucible that we gain an eternal perspective of the power of God we serve. It is there that we see that Christ does meet us in every trial causing it all to work according to his perfect plan. It is there that we are strengthened as he draws us nearer to him. - Marianne Bernard
