Sunday Lessons: God is doing something in our days.

Sec. Mar Roxas has announced yesterday that the Zamboanga crisis is finally over, but the locals don't seem to agree.

It's been three weeks. So many lives, so many properties have been damaged. Houses have been burned. Soldiers and civilians have been killed. Employees can't go to work. Students can't go to school. Food and supplies are running out. Hope is running out.

"The Lord is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all that He has made." 

                                                      - Psalm 145:13

God is faithful. I may question so many things, but God's faithfulness is something I am always sure of. Just because we're hurting now doesn't mean that He has turned a deaf ear to our cries.

I believe that there's a greater purpose for all these suffering. I believe that this pain will be useful to us one day. I believe that God doesn't give us a weight heavier than what we are capable of carrying, and if He does, He will carry it for us. He will carry us.

"Dreams will live again

Faith and hope restored

Taste and see that the Lord is good."
