How many times have we heard someone say, “God has a wonderful plan for your life”? I stopped counting years ago; maybe you have, too. Reconciling the truth that God’s plan for our lives is good when all we are experiencing is pain can cause tremendous confusion.
After all, Scripture emphatically says:
Jesus “came that you may have life, and have it abundantly” (John 10:10).
When we seek Him we will find Him (see Jeremiah 29:13).
We are to “draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).
During those difficult times, we have to release what we assumed to be true and, instead, embrace with accuracy what God’s Word actually means.
John and Lynn Hampton spent years reframing their understanding of how God can be good—in spite of His allowing painful circumstances in life. As we revisit this dialogue shared between Colleen and the Hampton couple in 2016, we hope it encourages you in whatever season of pain you are walking through.
