The Presence Of God In A Time Of Trouble

When you are suffering and you are not tended to by a Good Samaritan… When you are suffering and you see no helpers coming to your aid… When you are suffering and you believe God is not ready or does not want to help you… Please read on. In suffering, we cannot see God, but in our suffering, God is like an internal Samaritan helping people of the world. God is deep within you. In our suffering, God is our ultimate helper. When no one else knows or cares, God knows or cares. Your suffering is internal. Your suffering is inside of you. However, in the same place, you find your suffering you also find God. God is internal. God is right there in the middle of your suffering. When you hurt the worst, when you doubt the most, when you have no one to turn to for help, God is at the very center of the burden you carry. Suffering not only cuts us off from God, but suffering also cuts us off from other people. Because suffering cuts us off from God and others, we must all reach out to each other in good times and bad. We must reach out to those people who are suffering. We must reach out because for many people we represent God, we represent Christ, and we are the Samaritans.
