"Not only is all your affliction momentary, not only is all your affliction light in comparison to eternity and the glory there, but all of it is totally meaningful." -John Piper

In the midst of trials, pain, and loss, it's hard to see God. Sometimes it's hard to feel His presence. We have all had our share of hurt. But no matter what we have been through, we have to remember His purpose and that nothing is meaningless. Nothing is wasted.
