A Grace Disguised
"The experience of loss does not have to be the defining moment of our lives. Instead, the defining moment can be our response to the loss. It is not what happens to us that matters so much as what happens in us."
As Sitter says (19) believe that good comes out of loss, but that doesn’t mean the loss was worth it. So, while we may want people to start finding meaning the suffering, we don’t want to step too far ahead into saying that life is better because of the loss. For example, Sittser lost people he loved and out of that loss, God inspired him to write this book which, perhaps helped thousands with their grief.
Does that mean it was "good" or "right" for his family to die? Does the loss justify the results?
Together in Christ,
Stephen
