What Makes Night Within Us May Leave Stars
What makes night within us may leave stars.
It's a beautiful statement, isn’t it?
We may not know the depths of why we experience pain in life, but we do have hope that it can be redeeming within us. We’ll explore more about this relationship between suffering and redemption in today’s video, but here are three questions to get you thinking about faithfulness despite struggle.
-John Ortberg
Is there night within you right now? Share it with God today and let Him see you through the darkness.
God always invites us to connect and to reconnect and to connect some more. Over and over He pursues us, just as we talk about in the video today. What areas is He pursuing you in right now?
Think about the nights in your life you’ve overcome that have left stars. How can you channel those experiences into even deeper faithfulness today?
