“God’s Purpose for your Scars!”

Where is God when it hurts?
Is He there?
Does He Care?

Are my troubles

a set of pointless exercises?

God is at work!

God will not allow you to have more troubles than you can bear.

God will work out all the things that happen in your life for your temporal and eternal benefits.

Bad things are bad no matter how much you try to spiritualize them.

They are bad!
God specializes in making beauty out of ashes.

God causes ALL things…

To work TOGETHER for good..

What is this “good” purpose?
