Scripture doesn’t ever really give us an answer to the question of suffering. Scripture is full of stories of bad things happening to the righteous and the unrighteous, however we’d define those groups. Scripture is full of bad things happening to people that love God.

We’re not promised a life free of suffering. We’re not promised a life free from heartbreak.

But God does promise to draw near.
